NAME
GraphViz::ISA - Graphing class hierarchies at run-time
VERSION
version 1.100860
SYNOPSIS
use GraphViz::ISA;
my $p = Some::Class->new;
my $g1 = GraphViz::ISA->new($p);
print $g1->as_png;
my $g2 = GraphViz::ISA->new('Some::Other::Module');
print $g2->as_png;
DESCRIPTION
This class constructs a graph showing the @ISA hierarchy (note: not
object hierarchies) from a package name or a blessed scalar.
The methods described here are defined by this class; all other method
calls are passed to the underlying GraphViz object:
METHODS
new
This constructs the object itself and takes a parameter. The parameter
can be either a package name or a scalar blessed into a package. It then
calls "isatree()" and hands the result to "graph()". Then it returns the
newly constructed object.
isatree
Takes a package name as a parameter and traverses the indicated
package's @ISA recursively, constructing a hash of hashes. If a
package's @ISA is empty, it has an empty hashref as the value in the
tree.
graph
Takes a tree previously constructed by "isatree()" and traverses it,
creating nodes and edges as it goes along.
