Abstract:
An inline view port is presented to a user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code that is being investigated. The user further has the ability to dive further into portions of the viewport document without having to leave the current editor, drive into additionally relevant portions of code through the viewport, and cascade the viewports such that multiple levels of depth of relationships can be viewed in the viewport.
