Method for graphically visualizing an automatism application and computer terminal for carrying out said method

Process according to one of the previous claims, characterised in that the stylesheet (52), used in the step for storage of the stylesheet (52) and in the step for processing of the source program (50), is an XSL stylesheet defined for each graphic language (LD, SFC, FBD) used for the development of an automation application.

Process according to either of the previous claims, characterised in that the URL address of the stylesheet (52), used in the stylesheet storage step and in the processing step of the source program (50), is stored in the source program (50) in the XML language and the stylesheet (52) is downloaded through a network at the time that the computer terminal (54) processes the source program (50).

Computer terminal, comprising at least one processor and storage means, for graphically displaying or printing an automation application programmed on a programming station using graphic automation languages (LD, SFC, FBD), characterised in that the terminal (54) comprises:

• means of using a stylesheet (52), to process a source program (50) for an automation application programmed on a programming station (51) using graphic automation languages (LD, SFC, FBD), the source program being translated into a single, hierarchised, object oriented language representing at least one of the graphic automation languages (LD, SFC, FBD),
• means of generating a graphic vector file (53) containing graphic vector drawing directives, according to the processing done by the processing means,
• means of displaying the graphic vector file (53) on the terminal (54), to graphically display or print the automation application program.
