<p>Abstract</p><p>The program analysis tool, VizzAnalyzer, works good for visualizing the program structure as graphs, but currently it does not allow for a UML conform visualization, which allows a effective communication among software engineers. In this thesis we describe the extension of the VizzAnalyzer to allow the visualization of software systems as UML class diagrams.</p><p>The Eclipse platform provides an open source platform for creating an extensible integrated development environment. We create a plug-in that can be seamlessly integrated in the Eclipse platform through the third party tools in Eclipse to visualize the graph in VizzAnalyzer as UML class diagrams. The third party tools that are used in this thesis are the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) and Draw2D. They are mainly used to create the UML class diagram view.</p><p>In order to get a clear view on the diagram in the limited screen size, it is necessary to provide an appropriate layout for the diagram and drag and zoom actions on its figures. We provide the necessary means and document altogether in this thesis. We implement our solution as Eclipse plug-in and demonstrate feasibility.</p>
