Found those in an online presentation, so wasn't as pressing after all :) Is there any reason why only JavaThresholds are included/used by default, instead of being selected automatically based on what language your model originated from? On the bright side, he's found the tools really useful (doing an architectural review of a large C++ program) after I tipped him of the existence of Moose :) Mondrian visualizations do not scale very well for a project of this size though, the display model seems more geared towards traversing the model rather than culling what does not show up on screen, which turns into a problem when it redraws 50000 nodes each refresh rather than the 100 - 200 actually visible on screen... (ie. 8-10 seconds for one refresh after clicking scroll bars) (This was an enriched DSM chart for 20 namespaces) The blueprint complexity visualization never even opened (as in, at least in the first minute), the algorithm for calculating edges is waaay too slow with 500 entities :) Which is kind of a shame, since those large, complex systems are what it really would be nice to have good visualizations of... :/ Maybe better scaleability would be a good goal for Moose 4.1?
