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

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.

Genesis doing a 3D visualisation for an NDepend report?

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

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.

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