[br]Hi, I wrote a code relationship visualizer for sublime text called CodeAtlas. It can display relationship graph between code elements, such as call graph and class hierarchy, and user can use up/down/left/right to navigate these elements. I tried it myself for a few months and found it really helpful.

Here's my plugin's UI.

Here's the source code, with some feature gifs:

Here's the plugin's feature video:

The plugin query code information by using another static code analysis software. Now I want to make it a Visual Studio plugin but I found the API is too complex for me. So can you implement similar features? I think with VA's powerful code analysis feature, it's not difficult to making such visualizer. Hopefully my idea can help more people.

NeumannAndre	Posted - Nov 19 2019 : 06:22:06 AM I'd like to add one more tool for code review that is also worth to be mentioned here. Review Assistant allows you to create review requests and respond to them without leaving Visual Studio. https://www.devart.com/review-assistant/
feline	Posted - Jul 28 2017 : 04:04:53 AM Thank you for the links. This looks interesting, but isn't something we are looking to investigate in the near future. But it is good that this is available, and it does look helpful in some situations.
league1991	Posted - Jul 28 2017 : 01:47:48 AM I've implemented my idea as an open source Visual Studio plugin. Here is the download link for VSIX package: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=YaobinOuyang.CodeAtlas Here is the source code: https://github.com/league1991/CodeAtlasVsix I'll be glad if you like its idea and implement similar features.
league1991	Posted - Apr 06 2017 : 8:54:48 PM OK, I see.

league1991	Posted - Apr 06 2017 : 11:26:06 AM Any progress?
league1991	Posted - Apr 06 2017 : 01:37:42 AM Thanks for your carefulness.
accord	Posted - Apr 06 2017 : 01:26:07 AM Thank you! I've made a note about your support and email address in the case and removed the latter from here to avoid spam bots to find it.
league1991	Posted - Apr 06 2017 : 12:04:02 AM Great! I'll be glad to know any progress for that. If you have any question, such as for technical details or UI design considerations, just ask me. I will help you as much as I can. If you have any ideas or advices, I can try to implement them in my plugin and you can preview the result. My email is ***@gmail.com .
accord	Posted - Apr 05 2017 : 9:40:28 PM Thank you for the details. oops I made a mistake. Our bug database is not open but you are always welcome to ask about the status. We're already considering to implement something similar to your idea. Not sure if/when it will happen though.
league1991	Posted - Apr 05 2017 : 9:24:09 PM I'm sorry I can't open the link, it just request me to log in but I haven't an account. I clicked on "status of a case" and inputed "105251" in the ticket box but failed. So what should I do to see the case? My plugin use another commercial software called understand (https://scitools.com). It provides python API to query its database file. The database is static and one has to update it manually. However, their API is very easy to use.
accord	Posted - Apr 05 2017 : 6:24:26 PM Thank you. I've opened a case for this, explaining your wish: case 105251 In the meantime, which parser are you using> I'm referring to this sentence of yours: "The plugin query code information by using another static code analysis software."
league1991	Posted - Apr 05 2017 : 01:39:24 AM I add EPLv1 license today. I choose this license because it allows commercial use and there is a graph layout library grandalf in my plugin (https://github.com/bdcht/grandalf), whose license is EPLv1. If you found any inconvenience for this license, please tell me and I can choose another one. No matter commercial or not, I will be glad for my idea being used.
feline	Posted - Apr 04 2017 : 11:59:27 AM What license is this code published under? I am not seeing any obvious sign of this information, but I may well just be missing it.
