Encyclopedia > Visual Objects

Visual Objects is a computer programming language that is used to create software programs that operate primarily under Windows. Although it can be used as a general-purpose programming tool, it is almost exclusively used to create database programs.


The original Visual Objects project (code-named Aspen) was started as part of Nantucket's attempts to bring the Clipper language to Windows, and move from the procedural to the object-oriented style. It also converted Clipper from a P-Code system to being a true native compiler and introduced more elements of the C language (such as typed variables), while including Windows extensions (such as COM, ODBC, and later ADO). With its symbol datatype, it offers the ability form name-based linkages, which may be used connect menu events to object methods or form direct linkages between server columns and controls.


The Windows version was finally brought to market by Computer Associates, unfortunately before the it was market-ready and in almost head-to-head competition with the first release of Borland's Delphi product. The language is still in use and being actively updated by GrafXSoft.

Abstractly Related and Spatially Simultaneous Auditory-Visual Objects (5943 words)
While there is a large amount of visual bias in situations when discrepancies between visual and auditory spatial location occur, (Welch and Warren 1980) the correlation of cues from each modality may serve to encourage and reinforce the perception of intended abstract relationships between auditory and visual objects.
While there is a large amount of visual bias in situations when discrepancies between visual and auditory spatial locations occur, (Welch and Warren 1980) the careful correlation of cues from each modality may serve to reinforce the perception of intended abstract relationships between auditory and visual objects.
The closer an object is to the viewer, the larger is itÂ’s perceived size and its capacity to conceal objects behind it.
