Visualizing Source Code in 3D
posted by Editor on Friday March 21, @11:16AM
Data Visualization Greg Weiss writes "Perhaps not a great UI, but if performance was quick and navigation was easy, I wouldn't mind browsing source code using this sort of eye candy" This page describes the kernel3d program, which produces a 3D animation of Linux source code development. Shapes and different colored lines are used to represent files, function dependencies, variable dependencies, file size modifications, files being moved across directories, and new files (see screenshot). The page has links to some other code-visualization projects, including The Free Code Graphing Project, which produces a poster-size map of the Linux kernel, and a way to visualize running programs inside a virtual machine.
