Dependency Graph Visualizer¶

Visualize where any ABAP object is used across the system as an interactive, expandable graph.

Opening the Graph¶

Open an ABAP file in the editor
(Optional) Place your cursor on a specific method or variable for symbol-level analysis
Right-click → Visualize Dependency Graph

For graphs with fewer than 100 nodes, the graph renders immediately. For larger graphs, adjust the filters first, then click Build Graph.

Color	Meaning
Red	Root object (your starting point)
Purple	Nodes you have expanded
Other colors	Auto-assigned per object type

A double border on a node means it has more dependencies available to explore.

Double-click a node — opens the object in the editor at the exact usage location
Right-click a node — shows a context menu with Open / Expand / Focus options
Right-click → Expand Dependencies — fetches where that object is used and merges results into the graph
Hover — shows object details: type, package, responsible developer, parent class (for methods)

You can expand nodes as many levels deep as needed. Use Reset to Root to restore the original graph and clear all expansions.

Use the filter panel to reduce large graphs to what matters:

Custom/Standard toggle — show only Z*/Y* objects or only SAP standard objects
Object type — show only CLAS, PROG, FUNC, etc.
Name pattern — wildcards supported (e.g., Z*MD*)
Usage type — filter by edge relationship type

Real-time counts show how many objects match each filter. Click Reset Filters to clear all.

Layout	Best for
Cose (default)	General use — physics-based clustering
Concentric	Seeing distance from root object
Breadthfirst	Tree-shaped dependency chains
Circle	Compact overview
Grid	Ordered comparison
