Abstract

The Rigi reverse engineering system provides two contrasting approaches for presenting software structures in its graph editor. The first displays the structures through multiple, individual windows. The second (newer) approach, Simple Hierarchical Multi-Perspective (SHriMP) views, employs fisheye views of nested graphs. We compare and contrast these two interfaces for visualizing software graphs, and provide results from user experiments.
