A framework for abstract 3D visualization

This paper describes a package, PLUM, we have developed for visualizing abstract data in three dimensions. We are particularly interested in visualizing information about programs, both static and dynamic, but the package should have a more general applicability. The package provides a framework to support a wide variety of different 3D visualization techniques, many of which have been implemented. The package also provides support for 3D graph layout using a variety of different layout heuristics
