New issue 933 by [hidden email]: 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.

Comment #1 on issue 933 by [hidden email]: Moose Meta Browser - Scope  
Map by scope of Entities
http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=933

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.
