March 2016 - Code visualization

Code visualization

The talk is about a technology and a tool which enables generation of flowchart-like diagrams on the fly while an arbitrary python code is typed. The technology enables not only viewing the diagrams but modifying them as well opening the future for the features which could not be introduced for the text at all. This is a two part talk. The first part covers a quick introduction into the diagrams, the tool and a discussion of the graphics primitives to be used. The second part will cover the implementation of the path from text to graphics which is done mostly in python. Also a future of the technology will be covered in the second part. The slides are available at
