*** Filtering dependencies The last common refinement is to filter some of the dependencies based on the scope. This is different from scaling in that we don't change the type of result objects, just select or reject some. aMethod queryOutgoingReferences opposites withinPackage: aPackage only retrieves referenced classes in the given package aPackage queryIncomingInvocations atClassScope outOfNamespace: aNamespace only retrieves invoked classes out of the given namespace This also works on primitive queries aMethod queryOutgoingReferences withinPackage: aPackage which retrieves FamixReferences instead of classes As for scope, there are 2x3 operators for filtering: #withinClass: #withinPackage: #withinNamespace #outOfClass: #outOfPackage: #outOfNamespace: For convenience, the following helpers are also defined: #withinMyClass #withinMyPackage #withinMyNamespace #outOfMyClass #outOfMyPackage #outOfMyNamespace aClass queryOutgoingInvocations atClassScope outOfMyPackage ---> invoked classes out of my package aMethod queryIncomingInvocations opposites withinMyClass ---> invoking methods in the same class -- Simon Denier
