Re: Documentation and UML diagrams

Hi Jesus, This is a wonderful idea, and is much-needed. I don't know enough about dia format to do this easily, but if you know a bit and can help, we are planning on adding this feature to 2.0. Greg Jesus M. Castagnetto wrote:

I've been playing on my home Linux box with Dia (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/) and Autodia (http://droogs.org/autodia/index.html), to create UML diagrams from my PHP code and my SQL dbs. Autodia looks like a nice tool to generate Dia diagrams, see for example a (cleaned up) diagram generated by running Autodia on PEAR::Math_Vector at: http://www.scripps.edu/~jesusmc/stuff/Math_Vector.dia and as a PNG at: http://www.scripps.edu/~jesusmc/stuff/Math_Vector.png I was wondering, given that the XML for Dia is not altogether dreadful, and that phpDocumentor (my favorite documentation tool for PHP code), already groks the structure of the code, maybe it will be a nice idea to generate a Dia output, basically a similar idea of generating DocBook output, just in this case the 'documentation' is an UML diagram. Just an idea. ===== --- Jesus M. Castagnetto (jcastagnetto@yahoo.com) Research: http://metallo.scripps.edu/ Personal: http://www.castagnetto.org/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
