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.
