The Visualiser
![]() |
The Visualiser is an extensible Eclipse plugin that can be used to visualize anything that lends itself to a 'bars and stripes' style representation. It began as the Aspect Visualiser, which was a part of AJDT. It was originally created to visualize how aspects were affecting classes in a project. It has since been extracted to become its own plug-in and given extension points in order that other types of information can be visualized. An on-line demo showing how to use the Visualiser with AJDT is available from the AJDT demos page. A tutorial exploring the Visualiser in detail, and describing the process of creating a new provider, using the Google provider as an illustration, is available from developerWorks: Create your own visualisations in Eclipse. A new provider has been developed by the University of Alabama at Birmingham: Visualization of Clone Detection Results |
