An automated document delivery service acquires content from content providers publishing on different schedules and using different URLs to define the path to their web sites. A rule based process of URL generation enables the use of a limited number of resource locator templates and a table of rules to access the web sites and download content of a large number of content providers.

Information is provided about operation of a software library accessed by an application program. Information about calls made by the application program into the software library is collected, for example, by capturing a trace of the calls. For a user selected portion of the calls a plurality of event streams are displayed. Within the event streams, events are colored so that a color of each event displayed in each event stream encodes information about a call associated with the event. A first call is represented as a separate event in each event stream in the plurality of event streams and coloring within each event stream encodes different information about the first call.

Coloring events in event streams in order to provide information about

Encoded information is provided about how an image is rendered. When the image is initially rendered, preselected colors are used. The image is re-rendered so that colors used to re-render the image encode information about how the image was originally rendered. For example, the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, the number of vertices included in that part of the image. Alternatively, the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, which type of primitive within a graphics library is used to re-render the first part of the image, or the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, scheduling path within the graphics library used to render that part of the image.
