Tool to generate schematic of VC++ Project? [Solved]

ACE247 · Post by **ACE247** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 12:25 pm

I am in process of developing a game. For this I am using my own super modfied version of the old 'IrrWizard' framework, and the code has reached quite complex levels.

I was just wondering if there is some kind of tool I can use to generate a "schematic" (as an image) of my code.
Like What classes are derived from what, were pointers go, which class calls what, etc.

I hope someone can help me here. A tool like this would be really usefull to me right now.
Thanks in advance.

I guess the best free tool for that kind of information is doxygen. Not sure if there are any others, there's not many good tools for c++ because it's so hard to write parsers for that language.

Thanks, now I have a much better overview of my code.

Is there something else too though?
I once saw a guy have a tool were he could real quickly generate a schematic of his code as a jpg, which showed how all the classes are linked.

I use doxygen with graphviz
Basically you just set HAVE_DOT to YES in the doxygen configuration file to let doxygen use it. For more info see doxygen - diagrams

Many thanks to both of you.

Graphviz+doxygen is just what I needed.

graphviz FTW. It helps me do my linear algebra homework.
