Abstract

Software visualisation employs techniques from the more general information visualisation field to help software engineers comprehend and manage the size and complexity of software systems. In this paper, we explore the use of tag clouds for software visualisation. We describe a tool which implements our approach and illustrate its operation with examples from our software engineering research programme.
