new svg callgraph driver

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:18:39 -0000

it would be great to have graphs without any installation of an other library (without Graphviz toolkit).
As svg is xml formated, it should be possible wihout external library
SVG is scalable so big graphs would be very user friendly, easy visualizisation and easier analyse

A more quadratic call graph

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:17:50 -0000

Hi.
I just got a callgraph where the height is like 500 times larger than the width. (svg file)
I think I'd prefer a more quadratic graph
Is there anything you can do to give better output?

show only external calls

You have this:
-n / --noexternalcalls

but I'd like to see this as well:
-hide_internal_calls
(i think that is a better name for an option)

Sometimes it is more interesting to see the external calls only.

ensuring graph legibility

Hi,
I've noticed that a lot of the graphs that come out of phpcallgraph tend to end up with a lot of horizontal lines that have various beginnings and endings, and no way to tell which is which. It would be great to have the software avoid this problem because it makes a lot of the graphs impossible to read.
Suggestions:
- (the quick way) add a command line option to set the distance between rows of the graph.
- have the script change the distance between rows of the graph depending on how many crossing lines there will be between a given pair of rows
- perhaps in addition to the previous suggestion, have it draw the horizontal lines at a different y-position so that there's a bit of space between them, enough that it will be visible with the graph zoomed out to the point where the text is barely visible.

Showing a certain depth

I'm trying to generate a call graph from a user interface point down into libraries.

I am interested in the libraries only to the extent that they are being called from the UI.

When I run:

phpcallgraph-0.7.0-pl1/bin/phpcallgraph -r -f txt a.txt wrapped/netineo-services.php ../../lib/netineo/*

I get not only a full callgraph of linkage starting at the UI, (which I want) but all relations between the libraries (which I don't).

Ultimately I'd like to generate something akin to a UML sequence diagram and push this into BOUML.

Thanks,
Martin.
