In this paper we present the expandability and flexibility features of the VEGA program (downloadable free of charge at http://www.ddl.unimi.it), for the development of custom applications, using it as a multipurpose graphical environment. VEGA can be customized using both plug-in architecture and script programming. The first is useful to add new features and functions, using homemade routines, written with the VEGA Plug-in Development Kit (SDK). With the second approach it is possible to design scripts in VEGA, using the REBOL language, in order to ( 1) add new functions or customize existing ones; ( 2) automate common procedures; and ( 3) allow network communications, by creating a bridge between VEGA and other applications ( or other PCs) through the TCP/IP protocol.
