Abstract

Software visualization research has typically focussed on domain specific tools and techniques. In this paper, we evaluate applying a general purpose visual analytics tool Jigsaw to visualize the JHotDraw open source software system. We describe how Jigsaw can be applied to visualize software, and show how it can support some program comprehension tasks.
