算法可视化技术及其实现

Algorithm Animation Technique and its implementation

算法可视化是研究程序性能行为的有力工具，运行一个可视化的算法程序时，程序中不易被人理解的数据结构，算法特征和程序功能可以图形方式动态地显示在计算机屏幕上，用户可按屏幕上的的视图来分析算法和数据结构的细节，用各种视图展示程序运行的各个侧面．算法可视化技术有助于理解程序，评估程序和开发新的程序．本文介绍了我们在微机上开发的算法可视化技术，该项技术是开发算法可视化应用的基础．

Algoritlun animation is a powerful approach for exploring programbehavior. While we ran animated program, some features in its data strUctUres andalgorithm(s) that usually are not easy to understand and even noticeable can be revealeddynamically in images. Users have much access to arranging patterns on screen, examingsome algorithm details and switching over to views to quickly show various profiles of theexecuting algorithms. The animated algorithms help three central programming activities funderstanding programs,evaluating programs and developing new programs.In this paperwe present our developed techniques for algorithm animatioll.They become a solid base forus tO futher explore some application techniques of algorithm.
