Note: Most SVRC technical reports are available via anonymous ftp, from svrc.it.uq.edu.au in the directory /pub/techreports. Abstracts and compressed postscript les are available via Abstract This paper describes how software visualisation can be supported in a generic environment for manipulation of software documents, using oo-the-shelf graph-drawing tools. The eeectiveness of the visualisation facilities achieved in a prototype implementation using the UQ? environment is illustrated by means of a call-graph visualisation case-study.

Visualisation in a Generic Software Development Environment
This paper describes an experimental generic software development environment which provides support for both textual and diagram-matic documents, and for visualisation of additional implicit relations between and within such documents. The relevant document structures are identiied, a framework for deening these structures and their associated presentations is introduced, and the current state...
متن کاملSoftware Documents: Concepts and Tools
In this paper, we review software development as a document-based process, with the capture of a full but ideal development history as the assumed purpose of the documents concerned. We identify generic requirements for perusal, editing and veriication of such documents, and illustrate how these requirements could be met in a software development environment based on current interaction technol...
متن کاملA Tool for Graphical Presentation of Software Documents
This paper describes an experimental generic software engineering environment which provides support for textual documents and the diagrammatic representation of relational structures between and within such documents. We describe the generic software engineering environment, the relevant support tools and document structures for providing diagrammatic presentation of software.
متن کاملSoftware Visualisation in a Language Based Editor
Abstract visualisation of software documents is a powerful tool for software comprehension. A good software visualisation tool should provide the user with the flexibility to define new visualisations as they are required and powerful navigation facilities within visualisations that convey the structures and relationships inherent in the underlying software documents. We argue that software vis...
متن کاملUtilising a Geographic Space Metaphor in a Software Development Environment
Current software systems are growing ever larger and more complex. This increase in size and complexity is of course reflected in the data produced in the development process and overviewing and navigating the structure are becoming daunting tasks. This paper presents a model for visualising many important aspects of the complex, multi-dimensional, data in a software development project. The mo...
