Abstract :
This paper describes how software visualisation can be supported in a generic environment for manipulation of software documents, using off-the-shelf graph-drawing tools. The effectiveness of the visualisation facilities achieved in a prototype implementation using the UQ* environment is illustrated by means of a call-graph visualisation case-study
