ascii flow chart / diagram creator?
-
I wish to place some simple "flow charts" into my code, as comments, to remind me how I intended the code to work, and be used. I already use: http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/flowcharteditor.asp quite often, and have on occasion used: http://www.codeproject.com/tools/codeplotterremoded.asp I am bouncing between VS2005 and VIM (the code has to compile on both UNIX and Windows) so separate documentation is not helping me at the moment. It is taking 7 UNIX windows + 2 IDE's just to track and test the code at the moment :~ I love the idea of code plotter, but am finding it very labour intensive, especially compared to the flow chart editor. So far google has not helped me, so does anyone have any experience with a tool that will allow me to produce simple flow charts as ascii? a reasonable windows GUI + some form of "export to ascii" feature would be lovely! Then I cannot loose the documentation :) zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness -- modified at 11:19 Monday 8th May, 2006

I thought about Doxygen, and have used it before now. as far as i am aware it produces stand alone documentation. the main problem i had with it was when it produced an index of several thousand class names, many of which were horribly similar *rolls eyes* not doxygen's fault, that is what our code looks like :-O i already have to many open windows, i need to stick notes into the actual code files, so when i return to them i know what i was thinking :) i do not recognise GraphWiz, i am off to look it up now, thank you for the hint. zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness
