Ocamldot generates program dependency graphs for ocaml programs.

The dependency graph output by ocamldot can be rendered by a separate program, dot. Dot is freely available from

http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/

Ocamldot is designed to process the output of ocamldep. A typical use would be

ocamldep *.ml | ocamldot > dep.dot

or

ocamldep *.ml > .depend ocamldot .depend > dep.dot

This will output a dot graph into the file dep.dot. You can then use the program dotty to view, edit, and print the graph.

Ocamldot has the following options:

-fullgraph draw the full graph (default is to draw only the kernel) -landscape output in landscape format (default is portrait) -lr draw graph from left to right (default is top to bottom) -r use as a root in the graph; nodes reachable from will be shown

(The transitive kernel of a dag is the smallest subset of the dag whose transitive closure is the same as the transitive closure of the dag. For example, the kernel of A->B, A->C, B->C is just the two edges A->B, B->C.)
