There are tools to develop the "call graph" of C/C++ code. Mel Gorman
used one to diagram the Linux kernel. See
http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/projects/codeviz/
for the details. I have no idea whether this would work for any of the
languages Axiom uses, since I don't know the syntax or semantics of any
of them (except Lisp, of course).

This might be relevant to the ongoing discussion about generating dot
graphs of the Axiom source code. I suspect it would be more work to
make the jump to the Spad code but Lisp is probably up to it.
Gary King recently released a set of common lisp libraries (I believe
under the MIT Style License) which help him work with graphs (graphviz
still generates the output.)
Saw it mentioned here: http://lemonodor.com/archives/001288.html
Tutorial/eaxmple is here:

That "make-filtered-graph" bit looks quite interesting.
With Bill having solved the hyperlinked graphviz output problem,
perhaps these tools could server as the "other half" of the problem -
generating trees from the Axiom source code.
I'll try and play around with this when (if, on my cynical days) I get
time - maybe something like "per-category" or "per-domain" graphs could
be achieved.
Cheers,
CY
