A Method to Creating Visualization Model with Consistency Rule in Paradigm

The coordination modeling language Paradigm addresses collaboration between components in terms of dynamic constraints. The consistency rule is a key notion in Paradigm. However, the original process of visualization modeling is without consistency rule, leading to complex. For this reason, by analyzing the theory of modeling in Paradigm and getting the relation between consistency rule and visualization modeling, the paper provides a method for visualization modeling with consistency rule. The method gets the input at first, and then creates state items, by checking states and action in the rule. Besides, getting the mouse events, it creates corresponding phase and traps to model. As the experiment, the method implements the process as design. The method brought in is valid for simplifying the process of creating visualization model.
