Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2009-10-07 10:30:11 EDT 
In the visualization tool, it would be nice to have an option to show cycles.

I think there is Pascal, a cycle should appear is an arrow in both directions vs. one direction.

I understand that it would shows it. However showing it is not enough. I'm asking for highlighting. In the attached diagram I would not really be able to tell whether or not there is a cycle without some assistance.

when I started this tool I looked into using the Form Validation stuff (to indicate there was an error). We could probably use this, and if you clicked on error we would filter all elements that are not involved in the cycle.  This should make it easier to see.
