Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell published a graphical virtual memory visualization tool: VMMap. Since more and more tools appear I attempted to classify them into 2 major categories or memory views they can provide:

1. Traditional or synthetic memory visualization tools: show derived characteristics, like colors or computed values and graphs, from memory ranges.

2. Natural memory visualization tools: treat memory as a bitmap but can also include image annotations. Image annotation was one of my main interests when I worked at Accusoft (now Accusoft Pegasus) a decade ago.
