Noah,

Sorry for the delay in a reply about your output format.  I needed some
uninterrupted time to review it, which has been a problem lately.

Your graphical output looks good, and I like the symbols you have chosen
to illustrate the #CCD logic.  Your output scales are also fine.

Without seeing the actual "test" C file that you are running on, it is
difficult for me to get a feeling for how the output relates to the
input file.  I am guessing that the numbers on the left of the graph are
the line-number in the source file that you are parsing.  I agree with
Gerry that the definitions of BLOC and LOC are confusing.  What I want
is a representation of the number of lines of code inside each part of
the conditional logic.  Avoid redundant or meaningless data where
possible.

Hope that is what you needed.  If not, send me a brief email with a set
of enumerated questions.
