Description Harold Ossher CLA 2004-09-02 15:56:31 EDT
When I do a query like "method * register(..)" I get several listed in the 
search results view, but the visualizer says it has nothing to show. Similarly 
for fields.

Classes and interfaces are shown (e.g., "interface *"). However, the 
visualizer shows just a single line for each: the line 
containing "interface ...". For classes and interfaces, I believe the entire 
file should be colored in. When methods are working, an entire method should 
be colored in, to give a sense of its size. (Perhaps this is true of 
relationship targets also, but there I find the current approach to be fine, 
and probably better. The size thing came up when I tried using the visualizer 
to show a concern consisting of several classes, and realized it wasn't 
showing the whole classes. If we end up with concerns consisting of some whole 
classes, some methods and fields, and some methoids within methods, I'd like 
the visualizer to show this realistically.)
