    No, not him, he's a complete nut job, always going on and on about this 3D crap. No, there's got to be something else... :rolleyes:

            Anyone ever seen (or written themselves) a program that analyzes some source code (doesn't matter what language) and then produces some sort of 3D result? I'm not sure what the result would actually be but I would suspect that some interesting patterns would show up. I'm looking for something like this and was just curious if anyone else has thought of this.

            I've worked with some stuff that did code path analysis and produced 2D charts showing where source code could be folded and refactored. Not sure what third dimension could be used for. A sales guy for the product used to say, "I've never met a GOTO that couldn't be replaced". :)

                You can create a 3D model of a shit yourself. This will be the 3D output from most of the analyzed code anyway.

                    what would the 3 axis represent? Memory usage, cpu time, clock time? or i suppose you could start with a 2D UML diagram and then simply extrude out a shape on the 3rd axis by a single variable, such as a class diagram with height of class blocks determined by lines of code (which in turn could be 'displaced' by lines of code in each method).

                      If this is for artistic design, which might be cool (maybe only to us programmers), I think its worth doing. For general pattern discovery or novelty detection of sorts, the 3D representation may be independent of your main goal of actually discovering knowledge about your source code. The knowledge discovered could be presented in 3D, but what type of knowledge do you seek?

                                      I sometimes print out my code, especially when it was for homework, and then put the pages in a pile and staple them together to maintain the sort order. That also makes it 3D and I can then do an analysis without looking at the screen.

                                        You really should see a doctor if you're THAT constipated...
