ABSTRACT
Adaptive explanatory visualization is an attempt to integrate two promising approaches to program visualization: adaptive visualization and explanatory visualization. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the ideas of adaptive explanatory visualization using a practical example. The paper introduces the WADEIn II system for the visualization of expression evaluation in the C programming language, shows how expression evaluation visualizations can be made adaptive, and explains our approach to the adaptive generation of explanations.
