[Source-code visualization utilities]

One of the students in our research group made some visualization software,
it was kinda cool that you can decide which style you use. For example,
some of our programmers like:

 if ( condition )

and some, including myself, like:

 if(condition)

But his visualization software parses the code and present it in the way
that you desire. I think such software is cool, but it's just one small
step against a complete source-code visualization system. (it could of course
also highlight keywords, etc)

It seems primitive. Maybe I should check it out anyway.
