## What it is
An sbt plugin that visualizes a Scala project's dependency graph, offering ASCII trees, browser-based visualizations, and GraphML/Dot file exports. It is now deprecated because its functionality is built into sbt 1.4+ via addDependencyTreePlugin.

## Use cases
- show dependency tree for sbt project
- find out which module pulls in a transitive dependency
- export dependency graph to graphviz dot file
- view dependency licenses grouped by license
- browse dependency graph in browser
- check jar sizes of transitive dependencies

## When to choose
- you are stuck on sbt 0.13 or sbt 1.0-1.3 and need dependency graph features
- you need whatDependsOn reverse dependency analysis on older sbt versions

## When to avoid
- you use sbt 1.4 or newer - use the built-in addDependencyTreePlugin instead
- you need actively maintained tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, dependency-audit, data-visualization
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: jvm, cli
