That was a FAST answer :)

What a pity :(
I guess it is because of the 3D engine?  you did that in VW with something like that?
 
Just by ignorance, does that visualization require a 3D engine?  cannot be drawn using Mondrian or whatever Moose uses for the rest of the visualizations?  or is it too "complex or large" to compute it that way?

Thanks Doru

I don't know if it can fit with what you are expecting, but there is also a LinearDitributionMap, displaying 'strongest' colors for properties having the higher value. Maybe try in your code try to replace 'DistributionMap' by 'LinearDistributionMap' to see what happens :)

I was using DistributionMaps where the containers were packages for example, elements classes, and properties the amount of instances. For example, see the attached screenshot.

Now....it is difficult to find the classes with most instances since I need to search for an specific color.

I am not sure I understand what it is difficult:

- because the mapping color <-> range does not match your expectations (like red would be highest, blue would be lowest)

- or because you are looking for one class with the most instances

- or because you want to compare the real values, not ranges.

I thoguht that having someting like CodeCity can be interesting. I would like:

- EAch building (square) is a container -> package
- Each little squeare (that has heigh) is a element -> class
- The heigh is a property, in this case, the amount of instances for example.

Then I can easily see packages/classes with several intances easily (the highest ones).

So...is that possible? how easier? :) 

Right now I was doing my DM something like this:

I checked for *City* class in Moose 4.1 but I didn't find anything :(

Hi Mariano,

If you think the colors are not easily pinpointing the highest values, then play with both the hue and the brightness of the color.

In CodeCity's age maps, I use a color range from a light yellow (for small values of the metric, in my case the age) to dark blue (for the highest values). This will allow you to quickly spot the darkest parts in the system, which would correspond to the highest values. Look at the screenshot, I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain something similar in Mondrian.

Cheers,

Ricky

hi
 

- because the mapping color <-> range does not match your expectations (like red would be highest, blue would be lowest)

I guess because of this one. For example, take a look to the screenshot I attached. If I want to search the most instantiated classes, I should serach colors like Brown or Pink. But they are not easily shown....and of course, I have lot of colors...then I can to go with my "eye" looking carefully each package and looking for those colors.

This is why I thoguht that CodeCity would be cool, in the sense that for this case it would be easier since the property would represent the height of a building...and it is easier to notice heigh than a color.

I am trying now LinearDistributionMap and I think it can help :)

 

- or because you are looking for one class with the most instances

I thoguht that having someting like CodeCity can be interesting. I would like:

Then I can easily see packages/classes with several intances easily (the highest ones).

So...is that possible? how easier? :)
