BLOOM is a comprehensive system aimed at using visualization for software understanding. This system includes a variety of data analysis techniques, a visual query language for defining what should be visualized and how it should appear, and a powerful and flexible visualization framework containing a broad range of 2D and 3D visualizations. Our goal is to let the programmer define and then create a sophisticated software visualization in under five minutes.
