Advanced widgets for Eclipse

Information Visualization Toolkits are often in the form of applications or complex frameworks and do not integrate into existing applications very easily. In this paper we introduce three Advanced Widgets for Eclipse (AWE) to help create visualizations of complex data. These widgets are packaged as a set of JFace components. The widgets include a Simple UML Class Diagram widget, a Simple Graph Widget and a Nested Zoomable Graph Widget. Each widget conforms to the JFace standards and therefore can easily be incorporated by Java Developers into Eclipse Plug-ins or stand-alone applications.
