Inheritance Graphs

Inheritance GraphThe Dump tool is now able to export an inheritance graph for a given ABC/SWC/SWF file. This is a very easy and nice way to look at the classes and their relationships. The small image shows the graph for one ABC file of the AudioTool. I think this it is pretty neat.

You will need a program like Graphviz to visualize the exported DOT file. If you want to export the inheritance graph you basically writejava -jar dump.jar -input file.swf -ig. I think this shows a really cool feature of Apparat. It is also very easy to reverse engineer a UML diagram. I am not interested in such a feature but maybe someone else.

Update: Here is a full-size example for the inheritance graph of the unfinished ImageProcessing library I am currently working on.
