本文提出并评估了面向对象编程语言中超类和子类之间继承关系的字形表示。面向对象编程语言中的继承关系在可视化编程环境中通常用树形图或嵌套结构的图来表示。使用所提出的表示，继承关系由字形的包含关系来表示。开发了字形生成原型系统。使用具有 1,500 多个类的 Java 2 标准版进行的实验表明，人们可以比通常的文本表示更快地识别所提出的表示中的继承关系。
This paper proposes and evaluates glyph representation of inheritance relationships between a superclass and subclasses in an object-oriented programming language. The inheritance relationships in object-oriented programming languages are usually represented by a diagram of a tree graph or a nested structure in a visual programming environment. Using the proposed representation, the inheritance relationships are represented by inclusion relationships of glyphs. A prototype system of glyph generation is developed. Experiments using the Java 2 Standard Edition, which has more than 1,500 classes, show that one can recognize inheritance relationships in the proposed representation faster than the usual textual representation.
