Sample Module Grapher Output

Track some of collaGra's latest work on the Module Grapher tool by examining design artifacts its development team is using as part of its design/coding process. These artifacts are published using the "Generate Web Page..." menu option of the tool.

The following artifacts track the changes of the tool's design with respect to positioning and drawing the rectangles that represent the modules. In fact, the last web page in the series shows the results of these design improvements. Note that only the drawn "graph" part of the artifact, without legend and callgraph, is shown. In each case, a link is provided to the complete artifact.

 

Collaboration graph of early design. Complete artifact.

 

 

Collaboration graph of later design. Notice the greater collaboration between the ModuleSubEdge/ModuleEdge pair of modules and between the SGSModule/Graph pair. However, the code based on this design still produces a cluttered drawing. Complete artifact.

 

 

Collaboration graph of latest design. Notice the neater drawing of the collaboration lines between modules (less crossing of lines over modules, highly connected modules drawn closer together). Complete artifact.

These artifacts are included on this public site to show that collaGra's design team "eats its own dog food". Not only does this ease its own design process, it insures that the ModuleGrapher is a well-tested tool
