A first version of fuel's graph visualization, without expandables yet:
Hi Martin!
I inserted visitor. I built a ROHighlighter that highlight some nodes.

You can use it like: ROHighlighter for: b in: view.
where b is a block.
Look for the users of ROHighlighter to see some examples.
Let me know if you need more.
I still need to work on this.

The first thing I thought of when looking at it was that perhaps it would be interesting to have it as a backend for Mondrian. Like this we can potentially have the best of both worlds and we can reuse the engineering effort. And then I saw ROMondrianViewBuilder which is a good start :).
