This module makes it easy to visualise data structures, even recursive or
|
|
circular ones.
|
|
|
|
It is provided as an alternative to GraphViz::Data::Grapher. Differences:
|
|
- GraphViz::Data::Structure handles structures of arbitrary depth and
|
|
complexity, automatically following links using a standard graph
|
|
traversal algorithm.
|
|
- GraphViz::Data::Grapher creates graphics of indiividual substructures
|
|
(arrays, scalars, hashes) which keep the substructure type and data
|
|
together; GraphViz::Data::Structure does this by shape alone.
|
|
- GraphViz::Data::Structure encapsulates object info (if any) directly
|
|
into the node being used to represent the class.
|
|
- GraphViz::Data::Grapher colors its graphs; GraphViz::Data::Structure
|
|
doesn't by default.
|
|
- GraphViz::Data:Structure can parse out globs and CODE references (almost
|
|
as well as the debugger does).
