1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating graphical code for a graphical program, wherein the graphical program performs a man/machine interface function for monitoring and/or controlling a process, wherein the method operates in a computer system including a display screen, the method comprising: configuring a front panel interface on the display screen in response to user input, wherein the front panel interface is useable for monitoring and/or controlling the process, wherein said configuring includes selecting at least one front panel object which represents input to or output from the graphical program; associating the at least one front panel object with at least one data value in the process; configuring one or more parameter values in response to user input, wherein said one or more parameter values indicate a desired functionality of the graphical program; automatically selecting a graphical code portion in response to the at least one front panel object, wherein said selected graphical code portion corresponds to said at least one front panel object; automatically configuring said graphical code portion with said one or more parameter values to produce a configured graphical code portion, wherein said configured graphical code portion comprises at least a portion of the graphical program.
13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving user input initiating a graphical code generation wizard, wherein said configuring the one or more parameter values, selecting the graphical code portion and said configuring the graphical code portion with said one or more parameter values are performed automatically in response to said initiating the graphical code generation wizard.
