  • Patent number: 6373484
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for graphically displaying at least two edges extending between common points in a graphical structure. A particular implementation relates to the display of execution paths of a computer program component having multiple execution paths so as to allow proper differentiation between the execution paths. The computer program component is processed so as to derive a data structure containing nodes representing all basic blocks thereof, edges representing lines connecting the nodes, and execution paths traversed during operation of the computer program, component. The resulting data structure is displayed graphically in 3-D. In order to allow the execution paths to be distinguished when they pass along the same edge of the graph, different sections of the edge are color coded. This can be done by spatially separating the edges and coloring each edge uniquely; or by dividing each edge into different colored sections in respect of each execution path.
