ABSTRACT
Software visualization research has typically focussed on do-
main specific tools and techniques. In this paper, we evalu-
ate applying a general purpose visual analytics tool Jigsaw
to visualize the JHotDraw open source software system. We
describe how Jigsaw can be applied to visualize software,
and show how it can support some program comprehension
tasks.
