Descibes using Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Tools to construct and customize visual designers for your specific problem domain. For example, you might use a specialized language to describe a user interface, a business process, a database, or the flow of information. By using the toolkit, you can build customized modeling tools, define and implement a modeling language, and generate code from those descriptions.
