For example show the fraction of crates.io that depends directly on libc and transitively on libc in the same graph.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how cargo tally currently fetches dependency data from crates.io and generates graphs. Look at the code for querying and aggregating dependents. Then, extend it to differentiate between direct and transitive dependencies, possibly by adding a flag or additional series in the graph.
