Over the last two years we have been developing the meta-progra- mming language Rascal that aims at providing a concise and effective language for performing meta-programming tasks such as the analysis and transformation of existing source code and models, and the implementation of domain-specific languages. However, meta-programming tasks also require seamlessly integrated visualization facilities. We are therefore now aiming at a "One-Stop-Shop" for analysis, transformation and visualization. In this paper we give a status report on this ongoing effort and sketch the requirements for an interactive visualization framework and describe the solutions we came up with. In brief, we propose a coordinate-free, compositional, visualization framework, with fully automatic placement, scaling and alignment. It also provides user interaction. The current framework can handle various kinds of charts, trees, and graphs and can be easily extended to more advanced layouts. This work can be seen as a study in domain engineering that will eventually enable us to create a domain-specific language for software visualization. We conclude with examples that emphasize the integration of analysis and visualization.
