The Visual Code Navigator: An Interactive Toolset for Source Code Investigation G. Lommerse, F. Nossin, L. Voinea, A. Telea, Eindhoven University, the Netherlands Syntactic View: overlays the code text with structure information uses a generalized shaded cushion metaphor generalizes syntax highlighting useful for quickly navigating source code Symbol View: shows compiled interfaceobjects (linker view) uses a cushioned treemap metaphor useful for understanding object file structure Evolution View: shows evolution in time of files in a project uses a matrix of dense pixel displays useful for understanding code change Download the demo at: www.win.tue.nl/~lvoinea/VCN.html Download the demo at: www.win.tue.nl/~lvoinea/VCN.html
