I’ve done the colour and styling manually; I’ve changed the styling to “component” instead of “ellipse” and the colouring was also changed for the different kind of projects. Although, now that you mention it, it would be possible to do extra analysis in the projectloading code by determining the colour based on the references the project has. In our case, all the services projects have a relation to the NHibernate.dll so those projects would be the repository/services while the others will be the Plain domain projects.

Also, within GVEDIT I have changed a few settings before generating the picture like the “ratio” flag; that way the layout of the projects in the picture is not too flat. Thanks for putting the project on github!

Thanks for the mention. I’ve updated that project and put it up on GitHub at http://github.com/jamiepenney/VS-Dependency-Viewer I’m glad someone has a use for these little projects I create. I might do a little more work to make it easier to do the colouring you’ve done in your blog post – did you add this manually to the .dot file or did you do some analysis in the project loading code?

Cheers, Jamie
