Interactive Software Visualization

This tool visualizes the sourcecode of Mozilla 1.7. It displays metrics like lines of code, number of functions, etc. The code can be explored in 3D-space using a 3-button mouse with scroll wheel.

@bjohns117 oh wow, thanks for the info. it was a school project and they changed their domain name a while ago. i asked them to fix the 404's. all the documentation is in german though. well i remember i put some more image material and downloadable source code there. i'll check back with you when i get answers from the schools webmaster. thanks for your interest!

@bjohns117 i updated the link in the info text.

So; How does this help anyone?

[extrapixel83]

@OniLunchbox just read the video description. it's an interactive visualization of mozilla source code metrics. i doubt you understand any of this... but if you did, the application could help you analyze the mozilla source code using interactive information graphics.

@extrapixel83 I guess the question really casts doubt on the necessity of such a feature.

[extrapixel83]

@OniLunchbox i must admit, not a lot of people are interested in the statistics of their source code. however, my interest was more in visualizing complex datasets using interactive information graphics. back then i found the mozilla sourcecode was a good source of complex data. even if your criticism is valid, i doubt you can understand (or see in the video) what that realtime interactive software all did.

I have to admit, this is entirely fascinating. I love statistics and unusual analytical methods :)
