- Could anyone help me find a graphical tool for a SUN workstation, suitable for modeling an
- executing object oriented system?
-
- My aim is to make an application that reads a detailed tracelist made
- from an executing objectoriented communication system. From that list,
- I want to graphically display every interesting event such as signals
- in the net, object creation and deletion.
-
- Because of the amount of information in the tracelist, I have to filter
- it in a way the user dynamically decide.
-
- For example if the system starts with an event that triggers 10 events
- that triggers 20 events each that ....
-
- This would soon become impossible to display, why the user should be able
- to choose which branch(es) he/she wants to trace.
-
- My plan is to split the problem in two parts, a module written by me in
- C++ that filters the input, and a visualisation-module that I hope already
- exist somewhere. The properties I want from the visualisation-module is
- that it:
-
- * Contains a model of the system entities.
- * Can use arbitrary bitmaps to represent objects.
- * Can read input from a file or socket and does appropriate actions.
- * Reports events such as mouseclicks on an object to the filter module.
-
- If anyone has seen a tool suitable for this purpose, I would be most
- greatful for a mail to:
