If you really want to, yes. The way the IntelliJ tool does it is that
it marks with colors the dependents and the antecedents of the
selected item.
Of course, this works best for people that don't suffer from color
blindness, but otherwise it's much more compact.

See http://erlide.sf.net/dsm1.png for a snapshot. Dependencies "flow"
from green to blue(=current) to yellow. Notice the red "bad guy" too.

regards,
Vlad
