NAME

       pyreverse - parse python sources files and extract diagrams from them.

SYNOPSIS

       pyreverse [options] <modules>

DESCRIPTION

       pyreverse is a python source analyzer. It parses python packages and produces UML diagrams
       in different output formats.  (dot,  all  formats  available  for  dot,  and  vcg).   With
       different  options,  you  can  have  fine  tuning  on  what  and  how modules, classes and
       attributes will be shown in the diagram.  You can combine several modules in  one  project
       (except with -c ).

       If no -c and no --diadefs option specified, pyreverse will create
        - a diagram 'classes_<name>' for the classes in <modules> and
          ( if there is more than one module in <projects> )
        - a diagram 'packages_<name>' for the package dependencies in <modules>

       With   -c   <class>,   pyreverse   creates  a  diagram  for  that  <class>  with  filename
       <class>.<format>.  You can do -c <class1> , -c <class2>.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show help message and exit

       -p<name>, --project=<name>
              set project name to <name> if not using -c option. (default:'No Name')

       --ignore=<file>
              add <file> (may be a directory) to the black list (not parsed)

       -f<mode>, --filter-mode=<mode>
              filter attributes and functions according to <mode>. You can  combine  modes  using
              '+' like 'SPECIAL+OTHER'. Correct modes are :
               - 'PUB_ONLY' : filter all non public attributes (default)
               - 'ALL' : no filter
               - 'SPECIAL' : filter Python special functions except constructor
               - 'OTHER' : filter protected and private attributes [current: PUB_ONLY]

       -d<file>, --diadefs=<file>
              create diagram according to the diagram definitions in <file>

       -c <class>, --class=<class>
              create  a  class  diagram  with all classes related to <class>  [current: none] the
              class must be in the file <modules>. By default, this will  include  all  ancestors
              and associated classes of <class> and include module names (i.e. '-ASmy' ).

       -a <ancestor>, --show-ancestors=<ancestor>
              show <ancestor> generations of ancestor classes not in <projects>

       -A, --all-ancestors=[yn]
              show all ancestors off all classes in <projects> [current: none]

       -s <ass_level>, --show-associated=<associated>
              show  <ass_level> associated classes. <ass_level>=1 will only take classes directly
              related to the classes  in the project,  while <ass_level>=2  will  also  take  all
              classes related to those fetched by<depth>=1.

       -S, --all-associated=[yn]
              show recursively all associated off all associated classes [current: none]

       -b, --builtin
              include builtin objects in representation of classes [current: False]

       -m [yn], --module-names=[yn]
              include module name in representation of classes. This will include the full module
              path in the class name. [current: none]

       -k, --only-classnames
              don't show attributes and methods in the  class  boxes;  this  disables  -f  values
              [current: False]

       -o <format>, --output=<format>
              create  a  *.<format>  output  file  if format available. Available formats are all
              formats that dot can produce and vcg.  [default: dot]

EXAMPLES

       Here are some examples for command line options:

       pyreverse <project> -a1 -s1 -m

              -a1 -s1 will include one level of ancestor and associated classes  in  the  diagram
              of  the  <project>  modules, while -m will show the full module path of each class.
              You can use the -a, -s, -A, -S options  in  the  same  way.   Note  that  on  class
              diagrams (using -c ) -a and -s will rather reduce than enlarge your diagram.

       pyreverse mod/foo.py mod/fee.py -k

              This  is  interesting  if the diagram for <project>=mod is too complicated: you can
              show only the class names (no attributes or methods, option -k); or take  only  the
              modules you are interested in (here fee.py and foo.py).

REQUIRES

       Python
