VizzEditor - A Framework for the rapid development of program visualisations

The VizzEditor is a framework for the rapid design of visualizations and animations of Java programs. These programs are monitored via the Java Debug Interface. Hence, existing Java code does not require any extension or transformation. Events representing state changes of the programs are mapped to changes in one or more predefined views. They include textual, tree, graph and array views. Design and execution of an animation is performed within the same environment. Both are controlled via a central coordinator allowing to add and remove views dynamically.

Programs are hard to understand. Especially when they're running. Good visualizations help.
