Polka 3D [80] is a 3D extension of the Polka algorithm animation system. Its basic philosophy is quite similar to Zeus3D. Finally, Plum [69] is a package to visualize abstract data in 3D. Plum has been used to visualize static and dynamic properties of programs, such as their call graphs. 2.6 Higher Order Logic Languages Since the early 1970 s, logic, and in particular Horn logic, has been proposed as a programming language [40] ....

Attempts to cope with this problem have ventured in many directions: nested graphs [23, 31, 36, 58, 59, 101, 130, 134, 136] three dimensional layouts [5, 16, 19, 36, 39, 40, 55, 81, 91, 111, 112, 113, 117, 145, 146], composite graph layout [66, 77, 96] incremental layout algorithms [12, 30, 87, 100, 101, 130] information hiding [23, 37, 101, 113, 120, 121] node clustering techniques 1 [6, 13, 14, 38, 45, 49, 57, 66, 74, 85, 95] and visualization of hierarchies [16, 72, 73, 82, 112, 113, 127, 138] A ....

Incorporating constraint hierarchies [2] in the language in a suitable manner would allow for complex layout specifications, e.g. for VLSI design [4] Temporal constraints. Another intriguing subject is the use of the U term language to express temporal constraints. These could use 3D display, ....

....matures, visualizations must scale to larger and more complex information spaces. Different visualization techniques have been proposed to increase the amount of information that can be displayed on the screen at the same time, both to create global views and to portray focus context simultaneously[25, 21, 5, 1, 2, 13, 17, 4, 24, 22, 23, 16, 27, 14]. However, all visualizations must be created using the limited number of pixels on the screen; this often severely constrains a designer s ability to create global overviews of large information spaces. Our Information Mural technique allows 2D visual representations of large information spaces ....
