From: "Diomidis Spinellis" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 11:54 AM Subject: Perl script to create .dot graphs out of directory hierarchies Hi Stephen, I started using dot about a year ago, and it has changed the way I am thinking about graphs as documentation aids; previously I tried to avoid them, now I am looking for excuses to use a graph. As a token gift in return I am enclosing a small Perl script that creates dot graphs out of directory hierarchies. It correctly handles some tricky parts like names with invalid characters, and the same directory name appearing in sibling or parent nodes. It works under Unix and Windows. The gzipped tar file contains the script and a few graphs I created with it. On the BSD and the linux kernel graphs I tuned a few parameters to make them fit on a page. Feel free to include whatever you see fit in upcoming graphviz releases.
