Code Map

The app's built-in help for this screen, as shipped in quodeq 1.13.1. Edit this page on GitHub

The Map tab draws your codebase as shapes you can scan at a glance: two metrics crossed with three layouts.

The code map: folders and files as nested circles coloured by health — The code map. Each circle is a folder or a file, coloured by how healthy it is.

The code map. Each circle is a folder or a file, coloured by how healthy it is.

Pick a metric

Health color encodes the dimension grade of each file. Greener is healthier.
Violations color encodes raw violation density, weighted by severity.

Pick a layout

Circle Pack	Nested circles sized by line count. Best for spotting heavy files at a glance.
Galaxy	Force-directed cluster view. Two sub-modes: filesystem (by directory) or standards (by violated principle).
Risk Matrix	Files plotted by complexity (size) vs. issue density. Top-right quadrant is your priority list.

Filter by dimension

The Dimensions pill in the map controls narrows every layout to the dimensions you tick. A dot on the pill reminds you a filter is active.

Reading the views

Large red blocks big files with many issues, high-impact refactor targets.
Clusters of red entire modules drifting from the standard.
Galaxy by standards reveals which principles are violated most across the project, regardless of where the files live.
Green islands: well-maintained areas. Protect them when refactoring nearby.

Drilling in

Click any node to drill down. The Map keeps a local breadcrumb so you can pop back without leaving the tab. Click a leaf node to open the file detail, or jump from a galaxy-by-standards cluster directly to the offending principle.
