Generating and modifying textual code interfaces from graphical programs

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• utilizing a computer to perform:
• analyzing a graphical program, wherein the graphical program comprises a plurality of interconnected nodes that visually indicate functionality of the graphical program, and wherein the graphical program comprises an I/O interface comprising one or more ordered parameters for providing input to or receiving output from the graphical program;
• automatically generating a function in a textual programming language based on said analyzing the graphical program, wherein the function implements the functionality of the graphical program, and wherein the function comprises a textual function I/O interface with the one or more ordered parameters of the I/O interface of the graphical program;
• displaying the textual function I/O interface;
• receiving user input specifying one or more changes to the textual function I/O interface to produce a modified textual function I/O interface;
• and
• in response to the user input, automatically generating a wrapper for the function in the textual programming language with the modified textual function I/O interface, wherein the wrapper is configured to invoke the function, and wherein during execution the wrapper receives one or more input values in accordance with the modified textual function I/O interface and provides the one or more input values to the function via the textual function I/O interface.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to implement operations including:
• analyzing a graphical program, wherein the graphical program comprises a plurality of interconnected nodes that visually indicate functionality of the graphical program, and wherein the graphical program comprises an I/O interface comprising one or more ordered parameters for providing input to or receiving output from the graphical program;
• generating a function in a textual programming language based on said analyzing the graphical program, wherein the function implements the functionality of the graphical program, and wherein the function comprises a textual function I/O interface with the one or more ordered parameters of the I/O interface of the graphical program;
• displaying the textual function I/O interface;
• receiving user input specifying one or more changes to the textual function I/O interface to produce a modified textual function I/O interface;
• and
• in response to the user input, generating a wrapper for the function in the textual programming language with the modified textual function I/O interface, wherein the wrapper is configured to invoke the function, and wherein during execution the wrapper receives one or more input values in accordance with the modified textual function I/O interface and provides the one or more input values to the function via the textual function I/O interface.
