I am debugging somebody else's code, it is too hard to read it without any doc. Are there any UML generater which can work on windows that I can use? Please help. Thank you .

Doxygen (www.doxygen.org) in combination with graphviz (www.graphviz.org) can generate nice documentation with class and collaboration graphs from C++ source code. Also many UML tools have a reverse engineering feature, though personally I prefer Doxygen for this kind of thing. -- Peter van Merkerk peter.van.merkerk(at)dse.nl Back to top Robby De Smedt Guest Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:23 am    Post subject: Re: How to generate UML for C++ code in windows system?

Thanks it is a great tool for generating documentation from my c++ source files.

I will be looking to set this up in the near future. I do not yet seen any references for setup instructions for such a combination "doxygen + graphviz". Does anyone have any pointers for such a thing? If not, I'm hoping it will be easy for me to pick up. I am hoping to generate overall UML-based class diagrams that describe my various C++ code bases.

I will be looking to set this up in the near future. I do not yet seen any references for setup instructions for such a combination "doxygen + graphviz". Does anyone have any pointers for such a thing? To answer my own question: One must install graphviz per their install instructions (I did so on a WinXP system using the Windows binaries...I wasn't sure whether or not to put the "thirdparty" stuff in, but I did so right on top of the graphviz install dirs). Then one must set the appropriate DOT* variables in the Doxyfile config file, namely the HAVE_DOT variable. 'dot' or 'dot.exe' is found in the graphviz distribution. Put dot.exe's path in the system PATH variable on Windows (alternative, point DOT_PATH to the to this same path...but I could not get this to work). After doing all this I was able to make some nice graphs. There are other Doxyfile config settings/variables that can produce more or less graphical stuff. -Matt Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
