This video shows a new software tool; Seesoft; that applies scientific visualization techniques to visualizing code. The visualization approach is to represent files in a directory in columns and the source code lines as rows of colored pixels. The main interest of this work to the human factors community is the use of graphical user interface for selecting and combining is the use of graphical user interface for selecting and combining statistics from a database; the effective use of hundreds of colors to display a mass of data; and the reduction of the point-and-click direct manipulation metaphor to just pointing; e.g. something of interest will occur where ever the mouse points to on the display. |
