How to generate a class relationship diagram #12

Actually, it's not a bug report.

I just wonder what tool do you use to generate this image:

manusimidt commented 3 years ago

@xareelee I used draw.io / diagrams.net.

Can only recommend it :) They also have a desktop application. But their online version is also very stable and fast.

Thanks for reply.

Is it generated by analyzing the code automatically, or by drawing this pic manually?

manusimidt commented 3 years ago

@xareelee No, unfortunately you have to draw it manually.

But i also think generating a diagram from python code is really hard, since python has weak types. Hence the diagram tool can not know for sure which type a member of a class has.

If you find a tool that works let me know 😆
