发明名称 Navigating source code using annotated topographic image(s)
摘要 A mechanism is disclosed for enabling a user to navigate to specific portions of a file containing computer code. A textual form and non-textual aspects of the file are rendered in a plurality of sections of a display. The non-textual aspects of the file are depicted by non-textual rendering elements in a topographic image in one of the plurality of sections. The textual form of the file is shown in at least one other of the plurality of sections. To enable a user to navigate to a code portion that correlates to a non-textual rendering element shown in the topographic image, user interface events are detected. When a user interface event is detected on a rendering element, the appearance of that element is altered. The section that displays the textual form of the file may scroll to a portion of the file containing a corresponding code portion and renders the code portion in the textual form. Doing so permits the user to navigate to specific code portions that correspond to the non-textual rendering elements shown in the topographic image.
