Hi. I am using Distribution Maps where I analyze an
snapshot, a particular moment of my image state. I would like to be able to compare it
with another moment.
For example, I analyze packages and see which classes have instances for evaluating
something. Something like this:
^ (self onContainers: (self listOfCorePackagesNames
collect: [ :each | (PackageInfo named: each) ]) elements: #classes properties:
[:element | element hasUsedInstances ] )
render
open.
Then, I do something different (suppose I start a seaside app) and I would like to see
the difference between both distribution maps. To easily compare and know which
"new" classes where used by running seaside that were not used in the first
scenario.
Maybe just a simple solution is to take both DM and to make a 3th with them: check each
element...if in both it is the same...them I paint with a particular color. If they are
different, each one keeps its original color.
What do you think? is it doable?
Certainly yes
is there someting done about this?
No :)
Notice that there are other visualizations to display history (check Doru)? Depending on
the context, it might better suit or not. You have to try to see by yourself. But, DM with
a diff sounds easy and good enough.
