Displaying different hierarchy levels of computer program source code

摘要

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for displaying different hierarchy levels of computer program source code. One computer-implemented method includes generating, at a first hierarchy level of a plurality of hierarchy levels, a first code viewer box (CVB) in a software development environment, wherein the first CVB includes source code scaled according to the first hierarchy level, receiving a selection of a zoom level from a graphical controller, wherein the selected zoom level corresponds to a second hierarchy level, scaling, by operation of a computer, the source code according to the second hierarchy level to created newly scaled source code, and generating, based on the received selection, a second CVB at the second hierarchy level including the newly scaled source code.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating, at a first hierarchy level of a plurality of hierarchy levels, a first code viewer box (CVB) in a software development environment, wherein source code associated with a particular CVB is defined by a mapping file for a particular hierarchy level and the first CVB includes source code scaled as defined by the mapping file for the first hierarchy level, wherein the mapping file provides a mapping of a specific hierarchy level as a zoom level, a high-level description of the zoom level, and a data location for source code to display for the zoom level as scaled source code associated with the particular hierarchy level; receiving a selection of the zoom level from a graphical controller, wherein the selected zoom level corresponds to a second hierarchy level; scaling, by operation of a computer and as defined by the mapping file, the source code for the second hierarchy level to create newly scaled source code; and generating, based on the received selection, a second CVB at the second hierarchy level including the newly scaled source code.
