Abstract

This paper details our work on providing 3-D visualization of program information. We have a project currently underway that attempts to use 3-D workstations to provide insight into programs, their structure and their execution, through the use of a variety of user-definable displays. We provide a variety of different presentation styles and utilize a variety of different layout methods and heuristics.
