An imple­ment­a­tion of a shape gram­mar inter­preter is described. The under­ly­ing graph-theoretic frame­work is briefly dis­cussed to show how altern­at­ive rep­res­ent­a­tions from graph the­ory includ­ing graphs, over­com­plete graphs and hyperedge graphs can sup­port some of the intu­itions handled in shape gram­mars by dir­ect visual com­pu­ta­tions with shapes. The res­ult­ing plu­gin imple­men­ted in Rhino, code-named GRAPE, is briefly described in the end.
