Abstract
A graphical programming system (1) allows a user to visually create a program. The system employs and input unit (12) and a display (11). The system includes, for example, a graphic-component memory (3) storing graphic components each corresponding to a program that achieves a task such as an operation task or a database task, and displaying the graphic components on the display (11), a task memory (5) storing the programs corresponding to the graphic components and providing the graphic-component memory (3) with data obtained by executing the programs, and a graphic component generator (6) automatically generating data on the graphic components and storing the data in the graphic-component memory (3).
