This (partial) screenshot shows some interesting data.  The full screenshot would make things more clear, but where’s the fun in that? Who can tell me what data is being shown here?

    It shows that we are getting it right most of the time ;)

    @Adam

    no more hints for those who don’t know what it shows :p

    New architecture pays off?

    Well it appears to have something to do with Efferent Coupling at the Type Level (http://www.ndepend.com/Metrics.aspx#TypeCe) — simply meaning the number of types that a class directly depends on.

    So it appears that you’re aiming for less than 20 direct type dependencies and highlighting classes with more than 35 deps.

    I imagine this is a view of a particular namespace, but I’m not sure on that.

    Genesis doing a 3D visualisation for an NDepend report?

    Although it could very well be a space-filling model of some weird molecule :)

    Looks like you have either created a black hole. Be careful around the rim or you might get caught up in the Event Horizon from which not even crafty programmers can escape.

    Pure awsomness

  • Raf

    eternity.

  • dave-ilsw

    You’ve developed a tool that displays 3D models of NDepend results and used it on the tool itself?

    @Mat

    you pretty much nailed it :)

    there are some other interesting things about that screenshot but i’ll post about them later
