N2 - Fluid documents enable the interactive incorporation of related material into a primary document. Visual cues within primary material indicate that related content is available and user interaction reveals related content in context. Fluid documents reduce the need for explicit navigation, maintain context when considering related material and support synthesization of disjoint yet related information. Source code documents are an excellent medium for the application of fluid document technology. The definition of software in the form of text based documents manifests a highly linked and fragmented information space requiring considerable navigation between elements during code examination and comprehension. In this paper we present fluid source code views, the application of fluid document technology to source code documents.
