Visualization: Where Pricelesswhere fits in the internet

Thanks Jonathan. I'm interested in the visualisation of info (like
"Grokker"). Any other freeware?

I don't know Grokker. A glance at their website implies that you don't
need function driven visualisation, which you could get with Grace, Root
or GnuPlot:

http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/
http://root.cern.ch/
http://www.gnuplot.info/

Maybe you have a look at Rigi:

http://www.rigi.csc.uvic.ca/

It's for visualization of software projects but could be customized to
analyze any kind of structured text. What you need to bear in mind with
any of the mentioned tools is that they are very complicated. You have
to spend a lot of time learning their usage.

Hi Bobby -- I'm also a visualization buff. A couple of other sites
that might interest you are:

* Kartoo -- a visual front-end to Google
* NewsMap -- a treemap of the current snapshot of GoogleNews
* WebNote -- free web-based PostIt notes (a wonderful service)

Do you know of any good free software for visualizing Java code?

Thanks Jonathan and BeAr,

I can't help with more info (Google seems to have solutions for visualising
Java code). My interest is more towards visualisation as an alternate
learning method(better for learning disabled) to text or tables.

Do you mean UML diagrams, etcetera?

Check out ArgoUML, or the community version of PoseidonUML (google
for them). I think they can reverse-engineer existing Java code into
UML diagrams...

Hi Wald -- actually I mean something a bit more exploratory/dynamic
like http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.php?start=pricelessware.org
but for Java classes. Something that will let me show/hide successive
levels of complexity so that I can understand the code.

A UML generator would be good enough for now though. I'm kind of
disappointed however because the couple of times I tried ArgoUML it
was taking forever / froze when I tried to load in my project
(hundreds of classes).

I remember a link on the Rigi page I mentioned a few days back:

http://shrimp.cs.uvic.ca/index.htm

Some interesting packages referring to Java (within their samples) are
listet. But as I haven't tried any of them you have to check and decide
for yourself, entirely. ;-)

Found a good free Java=>UML program. Easier to use than ArgoUML -- it
just works. It's called Fujaba. Looks similar to the old Together
Whiteboard.

Found a more polished free Java=>UML program. It's called ESS-Model.
