Description

I was curious if there are any plans to visualize type hierarchy starting from a selected class? Something similar to what Eclipse’s type hierarchy of a class or CodeGraph for VS do.
That would be useful for large projects.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start with the requested behavior and the linked Eclipse and CodeGraph examples; done would be a documented implementation scope and, if accepted, a type-hierarchy visualization starting from a selected class.
