The Visualize command

If you want to visualize the result of metrics generation on a specific model element, the "Visualize" command is used.

For this example, we are going to run the command on the "Food" class in the "ElementsDispensed" package.

Steps:

1. Expand the "ElementsDispensed" package and right-click on the "Food" class to open the context menu.

2. Run the "MDACs/Metrics/Visualize" command.

The HTML editor (defined in the Modifying configuration window) then opens, displaying the results of metrics calculation on the selected class.

Result

A table containing the list of the elements belonging to the selected class is generated.
