“…This interface needs to be implemented with state-of-theart graphics visualization tools. In general, it can be concluded that these tools represent a separate extensive class of software products of dynamic and static visualization [10][11][12][13]. In this case, the main developers of these systems are Microsoft, Gnome Foundation, and Silicon Graphics, which offer readymade solutions without a specialized focus on the use in medical applications.…”

The structure of the software for electric impedance tomography has been presented. This structure of application construction makes it possible to carry out the real-time EIT research and can be implemented on medical and technical devices, in particular, integrated into AVL devices. The algorithm for visualization of the results of conductivity field reconstruction was presented. Within this algorithm, there are two approaches to presenting color models and selecting colors for each particular finite element. The choice of one of these approaches depends on the needs of the study and leads either to faster performance, or to the higher quality of an image. The algorithm of neighboring finite elements, allowing reducing the time consumed to visualize the model by uniting neighboring elements with a similar color in one polygon, has been proposed. Reducing the number of finite elements leads to a higher speed of their output on the screen. A list of graphics libraries that can be used for the problems of visualization of the results of electric impedance tomography was presented. As a result of the research, it was found that among the analyzed libraries, the best time is demonstrated by the OpenGL library, which ensures the visualization of 0.02 s faster than in the case of the analogs. This is due to the high operation speed, which is provided by the implementation of the GPU visualization. It was shown that the use of the proposed algorithm of neighboring finite elements actually allows reducing the time spent on displaying the model on the screen from 0.05 s to 0.03 s for the OpenGL library. At the same time, the total time spent on visualization depends on the used graphics library. The obtained data can be used in the development of medical visualization systems, which should meet increased requirements in terms of the amount of displayed

“…Program visualization refers to "the visualization of actual program code or data structures in either static or dynamic form" [77]. In program visualization, different audiences vary in analytical tasks, which require tailored visual representations [16]. For example, software engineers and data scientists are dedicated to development activities including programming, debugging, testing, etc.…”

Data workers use various scripting languages for data transformation, such as SAS, R, and Python. However, understanding intricate code pieces requires advanced programming skills, which hinders data workers from grasping the idea of data transformation at ease. Program visualization is beneficial for debugging and education and has the potential to illustrate transformations intuitively and interactively. In this paper, we explore visualization design for demonstrating the semantics of code pieces in the context of data transformation. First, to depict individual data transformations, we structure a design space by two primary dimensions, i.e., key parameters to encode and possible visual channels to be mapped. Then, we derive a collection of 23 glyphs that visualize the semantics of transformations. Next, we design a pipeline, named SOMNUS, that provides an overview of the creation and evolution of data tables using a provenance graph. At the same time, it allows detailed investigation of individual transformations. User feedback on SOMNUS is positive. Our study participants achieved better accuracy with less time using SOMNUS, and preferred it over carefully-crafted textual description. Further, we provide two example applications to demonstrate the utility and versatility of SOMNUS.

“…These visualizations are also useful to investigate security aspects, e.g., SecSTAR [11] automatically generates execution diagrams to examine, debug, and test software applications. For an overview of software visualization research, refer to the reviews of Wagner et al [26], and Chotisarn et al [9].…”

Figure 1: VULNEX is a tool for the investigation of exposure to open-source software vulnerabilities on an organization-wide level.The tool shows repositories, modules, libraries, vulnerabilities in a tree representation (A), and meta-information about each entry (B), such as the CVSS score. We can see that the "low-marmoset" repository is exposed to severe vulnerabilities, three critical and seven high. Two of the critical vulnerabilities are originating from the activemq-all indicating that the library should be updated swiftly.
