Description

enhancement QL4E parity VSCode

Describe the solution you'd like
A graph viewer within the VS Code extension, for displaying the results of @kind graph queries. Currently, we seem to display @kind graph queries in the alerts(!) view.

The CodeQL CLI already produces DGML, and could easily be extended to produce other graph formats. GraphML output is also implemented, but not currently wired up to the format output options.

For completeness, I'll also mention that SARIF has a graph format we could use, although we'd then be responsible for writing a viewer for it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
CodeQL for Eclipse is the only alternative at the moment.
