In addition to graph visualization, it might be interesting to apply
social network analysis to the data. I don't have a specific package
recommendation, because it is several years since I last used an SNA
package.

I'd be favouring something like integration with GraphViz:

So you'd need an adapter that could generate a graph rep in simple text and
GraphViz can then draw it for you....

When I worked on the replacement for ClassDep with Tim Blackman, I created
a data object to capture the dependency relationships, ClassDep is now just
a wrapper for another implementation called ClassDepend.
Looking at class dependency relationships with ClassDep is a one way
affair, you only find dependencies. However with ClassDepend, you can
capture the entire codebase and hold the entire relationship between all
classes in a collection. Each object that represents a class contains a
list of dependant classes as well as the classes it depends upon, you can
traverse dependencies in either direction.
The question is, how can we present or visualise this class relationship
graph? Anyone know of any good tools?
