ABSTRACT

Modern IDEs offer built-in support for developing plug-ins. More recently, we have seen a growing number of plug-ins that offer non-conventional software visualization interfaces. They usually aim to help programmers to understand unfamiliar source code by representing it in visual structures such as trees, scatter-plots or graphs. This poster presents a plug-in built to integrate and combine several software visualization paradigms for supporting customized software comprehension activities.
