All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphProcessor

public class Perspective

extends AbstractGraphProcessor

A graph representing dependencies in an analyzed project can be vieved using different perspectives. A perspective may simplyfy the graph in a complex project. A perspective has one LayerOrder which defines layers, multiple filters that filter packages which are not interesting for the user and multiple aggregators which aggregate several packages into one component.
