visual programming environment - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  visual programming environment
  
     Software which allows the use of visual expressions (such as
     graphics, drawings, animation or icons) in the process of
     programming.  These visual expressions may be used as
     graphical interfaces for textual programming languages.  They
     may be used to form the syntax of new visual programming
     languages leading to new paradigms such as programming by demonstration
      or they may be used in graphical presentations
     of the behaviour or structure of a program.
