GoCity is an implementation of the Code City metaphor for visualizing source code. GoCity represents a Go program as a city, as follows:
- Folders are districts
- Files are buildings
- Structs are represented as buildings on the top of their files.
Structures Characteristics
- The Number of Lines of Source Code (LOC) represents the build color (high values makes the building dark)
- The Number of Variables (NOV) correlates to the building's base size.
- The Number of methods (NOM) correlates to the building height.
