Abstract
CCFinderX is a successor tool that advances the concepts of CCFinder (2002) and Gemini (2002), and is a standalone environment for code clone detection and analysis. CCFinderX is designed as an interactive analysis environment that allows users to switch between views of scatter plot, file, metrics, and source text, for applying to large code bodies. This chapter describes the features of these views, such as the display content, operations for coordination between views, metrics for files and clone classes, and the revamped code clone detection algorithm.

A CCFinder paper from 2002 [7] also shows a scatter plot of the results of similar code clone detection at that time. At that time, the size of each product was about 2M to 2.5M LOC of source files, so we can see that the size has increased about 10 times in 20 years.
