Hi,

I got a request from a developer in the tiOPF News Groups regarding fpDoc. I showed them some output of fpdoc against the tiOPF source code.

One of the requests was that of including a UML diagram in the documentation of a unit. I thought that was an excellent idea. I can clearly see how many projects can benefit from such a feature. tiOPF for one, Lazarus's LCL and surely quite a few units in FPC.

Is something like this possible?
Does fpdoc collect enough information to generate such a image? How do you generate a image like that from code?
The HTML output should be easy to modify to support a image in the Unit summary page, I would guess.

Any thoughts on this?

Any thoughts on this?

Currently I'm working on a generic diagram framework using Lazarus. I hope I can contribute it to Lazarus project. My first aim is to provide UML diagram for pascal code (just like ModelMaker in Delphi), hopefully can be integrated directly within Lazarus.

But, because I'm too busy with other things (especially my formal job), its development progress is not too active lately. But, the basic idea has been implemented as TLinkModel (connector-like model) and TListModel (list-like model).

I hope I can finish this project before the end of this year, so we can collaborate on the implementation of the model framework.
