Description

60       Takes a class name and converts its class hierarchy into a graph. This
61       can be done for N different classes before the graph is generated.
62
63       You can write the result in any format supported by Graphviz
64       <http://www.graphviz.org/>.
65
66       Here is the list of output formats
67       <http://www.graphviz.org/content/output-formats>.
68

Distributions

70       This module is available as a Unix-style distro (*.tgz).
71
72       See <http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules/html/installing-a-module.html>
73       for help on unpacking and installing distros.
74

Installation

76       Install GraphViz2 as you would for any "Perl" module:
77
78       Run:
79
80               cpanm GraphViz2
81
82       or run:
83
84               sudo cpan GraphViz2
85
86       or unpack the distro, and then either:
87
88               perl Build.PL
89               ./Build
90               ./Build test
91               sudo ./Build install
92
93       or:
94
95               perl Makefile.PL
96               make (or dmake or nmake)
97               make test
98               make install
99

Constructor and Initialization

101   Calling new()
102       "new()" is called as "my($obj) = GraphViz2::Parse::ISA -> new(k1 => v1,
103       k2 => v2, ...)".
104
105       It returns a new object of type "GraphViz2::Parse::ISA".
106
107       Key-value pairs accepted in the parameter list:
108
109       o graph => $graphviz_object
110           This option specifies the GraphViz2 object to use. This allows you
111           to configure it as desired.
112
113           The default is GraphViz2 -> new. The default attributes are the
114           same as in the synopsis, above, except for the logger of course,
115           which defaults to ''.
116
117           This key is optional.
118

Methods

120   add(class => $class[, ignore => $ignore])
121       Adds the class hierarchy of $class to an internal structure.
122
123       $class is the name of the class whose parents are to be found.
124
125       $ignore is an optional arrayref of class names to ignore. The value of
126       $ignore is not preserved between calls to add().
127
128       After all desired calls to add(), you must call "generate_graph()" to
129       actually trigger the call to the GraphViz2 methods add_node() and
130       add_edge().
131
132       Returns $self for method chaining.
133
134       See scripts/parse.isa.pl.
135
136   generate_graph()
137       Processes the internal structure mentioned under add() to add all the
138       nodes and edges to the graph.
139
140       After that you call GraphViz2's run() method on the graph object. See
141       "graph()".
142
143       Returns $self for method chaining.
144
145       See scripts/parse.isa.pl.
146
147   graph()
148       Returns the graph object, either the one supplied to new() or the one
149       created during the call to new().

Thanks

156       Many thanks are due to the people who chose to make Graphviz
157       <http://www.graphviz.org/> Open Source.
158
159       And thanks to Leon Brocard <http://search.cpan.org/~lbrocard/>, who
160       wrote GraphViz, and kindly gave me co-maint of the module.
161
162       The code in add() was adapted from GraphViz::ISA::Multi by Marcus
163       Thiesen, but that code gobbled up package declarations in comments and
164       POD, so I used Pod::Simple to give me just the source code.
165

Version Numbers

167       Version numbers < 1.00 represent development versions. From 1.00 up,
168       they are production versions.
