Hi,
It took a while but I have an example of a system complexity visualization with Protovis (The example is in the attachments). If you agree I'm going to implement this function in Mondrian as an export feature.
Cheers

Yes.

Yes. A new exporter. This should not much work. Have a look at the method exportAsSVG and class MOEaselCommandSVGExporter.

Open a Mondrian easel, you have an example 'system complexity'. It contains the following code:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
view shape rectangle
       width: [:cls | cls instVarNames size * 3];
       height: [:cls | cls methods size ];
       linearFillColor: [:cls | cls methods inject: 0 into: [:sum :el | sum + el getSource lineCount]] within: Collection withAllSubclasses.
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses.
view edgesFrom: #superclass.
view treeLayout
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This is the simplest graphical visualization. Try to generate it as protovis code.
Then, we will have to deal with the nesting:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
view nodes: (1 to: 10) forEach: [ :each |
       view nodes: ($a to: $z).
       view gridLayout
]
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Then, edges will come into play.

Cheers,
Alexandre
