Description

Good morning RubyCritic community, I use this tool often and I am very grateful for all your contributions here!

I love the churn/complexity visualisation of RubyCritic and I am wondering if other code visualisations have been considered for implementation. These are some visualisations that I would love to see in RubyCritic:
(a) Treemaps (here). CodeCity is another cool variation of this here
(b) Dependency Structure Matrix (here)

Has any of these been considered for implementation? If so can anyone point me to the conversation?

Thank you 🙏 have a good day
Alfredo

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry point. Start by reviewing RubyCritic’s existing churn/complexity visualisation, then compare the linked Treemap and Dependency Structure Matrix references. Done would require a decided scope and an implemented, tested visualization, but this request does not define either.
