An Engine for the 3D Visualization of Program Information

Steven P. Reiss

May 1995

Abstract:

We have a project currently underway that attempts to use 3D workstations to provide insight into programs, their structure and their execution, through the use of a variety of user-definable displays. We offer a variety of different presentation styles and utilize a variety of different layout methods and heuristics. This paper describes the underlying engine that we have developed to support this range of presentations.
