Abstract	Data structures are more easily understood when they are presented visually rather than textually. We have developed a system, Calypso, to allow the visual definition of data structures programs using pictorial pattern/action pairs in an imperative setting. We present several examples including rebalancing an AVL tree and sorting an array using the Quicksort algorithm. These examples demonstrate the superiority of this visually based approach over textual specifications. Calypso is based on a general framework for building and combining visual notations in various domains. This framework permits Calypso to be easily extended with new data structures and abstractions.
