Abstract
In recent years many prototype systems have been developed for graphically visualizing program execution in an attempt to create a better interface between software engineers and their programs. Several classification-based taxonomies have been proposed to describe visualization systems and several general frameworks have been proposed for implementing such systems. In this chapter we provide a framework for both describing existing systems and implementing new ones. We demonstrate the utility of automatic program visualization by re-implementing several existing programming language visualization systems using this framework.
