[Feature Request] Implement Graph-based Visualization for Symbol-Level Analysis (Internal Dependencies)

[Jinshijiming]

Description: Currently, the Symbol-Level Analysis feature provides a list-based view of symbols within a file. However, this functionality significantly overlaps with VS Code's built-in Outline View, which already provides a hierarchical list of classes and methods.

To provide more value, I suggest transforming this feature from a static list into a Graph-based Dependency View, similar to the existing File-level Analysis.

Desired Behavior: Instead of just listing symbols, the extension should visualize the relationships within a single file。

Thank you very much for this feedback! You are absolutely right.
I agree that providing a list-based view overlaps too much with the built-in VS Code Outline. The core mission of Graph-It-Live is to reveal connections that are hard to see in plain text, so moving toward a Symbol-Level Call Graph (intra-file dependencies) is a fantastic and logical evolution for the project.
Visualizing how functions, classes, and variables interact inside a complex file will provide real value for refactoring and architectural understanding—especially when paired with the MCP server for AI context.
I am adding this to the roadmap as a priority for the upcoming updates. If you have specific ideas on how you'd like to interact with this internal graph (e.g., clicking a symbol to highlight its dependencies), please feel free to share!
Thanks again for helping me make this tool more impactful for the community.

I have tried many existing plugins and found that:

• Analyzing function call relationships is relatively straightforward.
• However, analyzing class-level dependencies is much more challenging.
• Variable-level dependencies are rarely addressed, likely because variables have a limited impact on understanding overall functional logic.

From the perspective of functional importance, it would be more valuable to first implement a dependency graph for functions and classes.
On top of that, the tool could be extended with enhanced features, such as:

• Expanding classes into a UML-style representation，like 'pyreverse'
• Annotating edges with relevant instance variables of the corresponding classes
