• use the instructions above to pan and move the visualization
• select a layer which interests you
• optionally select 'Copy Image' to copy a Complexity Map to the clipboard
• select a colored package to see the findings for that package
• double click either finding, file or package to drill sideways
• optinally Ctrl/Shift-click to select findings and right-click to copy the selection to clipboard
• click the column header to sort by metric value
