Abstract

Various concepts from language theory are extended to describe and analyze two-dimensional patterns. Emphasis is placed on the development of a flexible descriptive metalanguage and a compatible table-driven analyzer. A further generalization of syntactic models is made by the inclusion of time in the syntax specification. This permits syntax-directed analysis of on-line, handdrawn, two-dimensional patterns and automatic syntax specification for different classes of finite pattern sets. A description of a unidirectional, table-driven analyzer for checking the syntax is also included. (Author)
