New issue 933 by alan.mcn...@gmail.com: Moose Meta Browser - Scope Map by scope of Entities http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=933
Type-Enhancement
Background ---------- The moose Meta Browser has a nice feature that by clicking on the tag shown against an entity, the list of entities is restricted to those in that tag or as parent entities.
For example, if within the expanded Moose.Entity tree, the "Dynamix" tag is selected, and the FAMIX.Entity, Moose.AbstractGroup etc. are hidden, and only Moose.Entity (as a parent) and Dynamix.Entity (tagged Dynamix) is shown.
It is also useful that clicking on this tage again reverses this restriction and all Entities are shown.
Enhancement ----------- Currently the Map panel shows the Entities and relationships for eveything. It has no way of focussing in on a sub-set of interest.
It would be useful if the Map reflected these changes in scope. In the above example, the Map would be re-drawan, but only showing the Moose.Entity and the set of Entities tagged as Dynamix, and perhaps with entities with relationships to those tagged to these Dynamix Entities.
Obviously, when the Dynamix tag in the Entity panel is clicked the second time and restores the full list of Entities, the Map would be re-drawn again, this time with all Entities and relationships.

Thanks for the idea. This is currently not possible because the information of what items are visible is only a rendering artifact. But, it would be a good idea to make this available in a port of the list.
As for filtering the map, this is not a wanted feature. The idea of the map is to be a map :). It is expected that the amount of classes in the meta-model is typically small, and thus they fit in one window without (much) scrolling. But, what would be nice would be to highlight the visible items.
