Title: RE: [ajdt-dev] Visualization of precedence
I’ve heard this question has come
up quite frequently, so yes, we are aware that the tools need to show advice
ordering at a join point. We’re in the process of designing UIs that
are better at showing these and other dynamic properties of crosscutting.
We’ll be soliciting mailing list feedback on those UI designs.
I’ve attached an example. It’s
not quite ready for public consumption, but should give you an idea. This
mock-up uses indentation to indicate a total or partial ordering on the advice
(adjacent nodes at the same level would indicate arbitrary execution order).
Elizabeth’s
suggestion of using color bars is another option. Note that we will also
need a link to any “declare precedence” declaration that has an
influence on the order.

Visualization of precedence
Yes! Use
different colors for different aspects and the ordering of the color bars
indicating that the aspects apply to the 'line' conforms to the order of
precedence of the aspects.

Hi.
I just
wanted to find out if people have ever thought that some kind of
graphical visualization of aspect
precedences might be useful (and
worthwhile integrating into the
AJDT). I personally believe that for
middle-sized buisiness application
this could be a useful thing to have.
