Browsing software architectures with LSEdit

Fact bases produced by software comprehension tools are large and complex, reaching several gigabytes in size for large software systems. To effectively study these databases, ether a query engine or a visualization engine is necessary. In our proposed demo we will showcase LSEdit, a full-featured graph visualizer and editor, which is suitable for, but not limited to, visualizing architectural diagrams of software. LSEdit is equipped with advanced searching, elision, layout and editing capabilities. It has been successfully used in the past to visualize extractions of Mozilla, Linux, Vim, Gnumeric, Apache and other large applications.
