SYNOPSIS

10       pyreverse [options] <modules>

DESCRIPTION

14       pyreverse  is  a  python source analyzer. It parses python packages and
15       produces UML diagrams in different output formats.  (dot,  all  formats
16       available for dot, and vcg).  With different options, you can have fine
17       tuning on what and how modules, classes and attributes will be shown in
18       the  diagram.   You  can combine several modules in one project (except
19       with -c ).
20
21       If no -c and no --diadefs option specified, pyreverse will create
22        - a diagram 'classes_<name>' for the classes in <modules> and
23          ( if there is more than one module in <projects> )
24        - a diagram 'packages_<name>' for the package  dependencies  in  <mod‐
25       ules>
26
27       With  -c  <class>,  pyreverse  creates  a diagram for that <class> with
28       filename <class>.<format>.  You can do -c <class1> , -c <class2>.

OPTIONS

32       -h, --help
33              show help message and exit
34
35       -p<name>, --project=<name>
36              set project name to <name> if not using -c option.  (default:'No
37              Name')
38
39       --ignore=<file[,file...]>
40              add  files  or directories to the blacklist. They should be base
41              names, not paths. [current: CVS]
42
43       -f<mode>, --filter-mode=<mode>
44              filter attributes and functions according  to  <mode>.  You  can
45              combine  modes using '+' like 'SPECIAL+OTHER'. Correct modes are
46              :
47               - 'PUB_ONLY' : filter all non public attributes (default)
48               - 'ALL' : no filter
49               - 'SPECIAL' : filter Python special functions except  construc‐
50              tor
51               -  'OTHER'  : filter protected and private attributes [current:
52              PUB_ONLY]
53
54
55       -d<file>, --diadefs=<file>
56              create diagram according to the diagram definitions in <file>
57
58       -c <class>, --class=<class>
59              create a class diagram  with  all  classes  related  to  <class>
60              [current:  none]  the  class  must  be in the file <modules>. By
61              default, this will include all ancestors and associated  classes
62              of <class> and include module names (i.e. '-ASmy' ).
63
64
65       -a <ancestor>, --show-ancestors=<ancestor>
66              show   <ancestor>   generations   of  ancestor  classes  not  in
67              <projects>
68
69       -A, --all-ancestors=[yn]
70              show all ancestors off all classes in <projects> [current: none]
71
72       -s <ass_level>, --show-associated=<associated>
73              show <ass_level> associated  classes.  <ass_level>=1  will  only
74              take  classes  directly  related to the classes  in the project,
75              while <ass_level>=2 will also take all classes related to  those
76              fetched by<depth>=1.
77
78       -S, --all-associated=[yn]
79              show recursively all associated off all associated classes [cur‐
80              rent: none]
81
82
83       -b, --builtin
84              include builtin objects in representation of  classes  [current:
85              False]
86
87       -m [yn], --module-names=[yn]
88              include  module  name  in  representation  of classes. This will
89              include the full module path in the class name. [current: none]
90
91
92       -k, --only-classnames
93              don't show attributes and methods in the class boxes; this  dis‐
94              ables -f values [current: False]
95
96
97       -o <format>, --output=<format>
98              create  a  *.<format> output file if format available. Available
99              formats are all formats that dot can produce and vcg.  [default:
100              dot]

EXAMPLES

104       Here are some examples for command line options:
105
106
107       pyreverse <project> -a1 -s1 -m
108
109              -a1  -s1  will  include  one  level  of  ancestor and associated
110              classes in the diagram  of the <project> modules, while -m  will
111              show the full module path of each class. You can use the -a, -s,
112              -A, -S options in the same way.  Note  that  on  class  diagrams
113              (using  -c ) -a and -s will rather reduce than enlarge your dia‐
114              gram.
115
116
117       pyreverse mod/foo.py mod/fee.py -k
118
119              This is interesting if the diagram for <project>=mod is too com‐
120              plicated:  you  can  show only the class names (no attributes or
121              methods, option -k); or take only the modules you are interested
122              in (here fee.py and foo.py).
