Abstract

We present a method that combines textures, blending, and scattered-data interpolation to visualize several metrics defined on overlapping areas-of-interest on UML class diagrams. We aim to simplify the task of visually correlating the distribution and outlier values of a multivariate metric dataset with a system's structure. We illustrate our method on a class diagram of a real-world system.
