Introducing to SourceCity

SourceCity is a 3D visualization tool for analyse object-oriented systems.

Goals

Flexible

You can render whatever you want and it will take less than 5 minutes. The only thing you should do is to set properly your own strategy (some explanation in Documentation section) and put, as it already said, whatever you want.

Fast

• SourceCity is really fast. For example, import all RPackage of the Pharo system (approximately 3 000 elements) takes at least 10 seconds. The most important visualization we've build (approximatively 36 000 elements) takes at least 20-25 seconds for import it.
• Rendering is also faster, it's using OpenGL's display list. It's the reason that you can visualize whatever you want with a fluid rendering.
