摘　　要：软件可视化是指利用印刷、图形、动画以及其它图形或摄影技术提高人们对软件的理解的技术。度量可视化是软件可视化研究的分支之一,它是把度量数据与可视化的图形结合来表示软件的结构。现有的度量可视化方法存在的不足是所能表示的度量指标等属性太少,表示出来的信息不够全面。为了表示更多的属性信息,提出了一种新的面向对象软件度量的3D可视化方法,利用组合图形表示软件实体(如类、方法等),使得所表示的属性数量加倍,从而更有利于对软件的理解和分析。开发出可视化工具M3DTool证明了该方法的有效性。Software visualization is the use of typography, graphic design, computer animation and graphics technologies to facilitate the understanding of software. Software metrics visualization is one of its subfields, which combine metrics data with graphics to represent the software structure. One drawback of the existence visualization methods is that the properties they can represent are too few, so it can＇ t represent information comprehensively enough. To address this issue, anewmetrics-based3Dvisualizationapproaehofobjectoriented programs is presented, which use composite graphics to represent sottware entities （such as class, method, etc.）, so that the number of represented attributes can doubled, which is more conducive to software understanding and analysis. A visualization tool is built, which called M3DTool, to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.
