Abstract:
1. A non-transient computer-accessible memory medium comprising program instructions for automatically generating a graphical program, wherein the program instructions are executable to: display a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display; receive user input to the GUI specifying desired functionality of the graphical program, wherein the user input to the GUI comprises first user input specifying first desired functionality of a first portion of the graphical program and second user input specifying second desired functionality of a second portion of the graphical program; automatically generate the graphical program in response to the user input specifying the functionality of the graphical program, wherein the graphical program implements the specified functionality, and wherein the graphical program comprises the first portion having a first computational model and the second portion having a second computation model, wherein the first specified functionality corresponds to the first computational model and the second specified functionality corresponds to the second computational model, wherein the first computational model and the second computational model are different types of computational models; display the graphical program on the display, wherein in displaying the graphical program, the program instructions are executable to display the first portion of the graphical program specified in the first computational model and display the second portion of the graphical program specified in the second computational model.
