1 year ago It's at least technically possible - but this needs a bit of work to actually look nice and (more importantly) be useful:
Code
```python from pytmc.parser import Box, TcSmItem, parse from pytmc.bin.template import get_boxes proj = parse("lcls-plc-rixs-optics/lcls-plc-rixs-optics.tsproj") boxes = get_boxes(proj) parent_to_children = {} def get_id(box: Box): return box.attributes["Id"] print(""" digraph { rankdir="LR"; node [shape=record]; """) for box in boxes: print(f""" {get_id(box)} [label="{box.name} / {box.EtherCAT[0].attributes["Type"]}"];""") for child in box._children: if isinstance(child, TcSmItem): child_box, = child.Box elif isinstance(child, Box): child_box = child else: continue parent_to_children.setdefault(box, []).append(child_box) for parent, children in parent_to_children.items(): print(f""" {get_id(parent)} -> {get_id(children[0])};""") last_child = children[0] for child in children[1:]: print(f""" {get_id(last_child)} -> {get_id(child)};""") last_child = child print("}") ```(I didn't verify any details here as it's Friday at 5PM, so this could still be wrong)
I'd imagine there is enough information in the TwinCAT project to assemble a diagram similar to the following:
It'd be nice if pytmc could generate such a diagram for usage in project documentation.
