infinite zoom visual source code editor?

August 29, 2009 12:24 PM

I saw a video from microsoft research which showed a new editor with like "infinite zoom" when viewing all source code files, like flash vector files - really cool. But i can't seem to find this video again! Does anybody know what it's called? Or a link?

Seadragon is an image viewer, not an editor.

Best answer: Code Canvas?

Photosynth or some variant thereof?

The poster is asking about a source code viewer, not a photo viewer.

Pretty sure we're talking about Code Canvas here.

SeaDragon will also view text. There's a good demo of it on TED (bradly's link).

Response by poster: code canvas is certainly what I was trying to remember.

really should remember to book mark stuff and not stay "don't worry I won't forget that cool stuff! "

Always bookmark guys or e-mail yourself.

code canvas is certainly the way to go.
