Abstract

We report two ways with which data structures as well as their algorithmic operations can be visualized. The first method uses LaTeX to automatically generate diagrammatic presentation material from extended versions of the Java implementations of well-known ADTs. The second method uses the Prefuse API to explore objects created in running Java programs.
