Back in April I posted here: Subject: pictorial representation of models? In my reading up on Ruby on Rails, I found a link to a page on the RoR wiki that shows a pictorial representation of a schema (model) along with documentation etc. See http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/AccessControlListExample/versions/25 Does anything like that exist to take a Django model and automatically generate a picture of that schema??? I think it would be a BIG help... to which Russ Magee responded: 1) I don't think the Rails guys have an automated tool, either :-) The Rails diagram you reference looks suspiciously like it might have been hand drawn using the Core Data designer from XCode (not unlikely given that the 37Signals guys - or at least DHH - use Macs). 2) The best graph autolayout tool I know of is GraphViz (http://www.graphviz.org/)- it's open source, and works off a well documented input format. I haven't looked into it extensively, but writing a Django Model->DOT converter shouldn't be too hard - might be a nice little project if someone is looking to get intimate with Django model internals. -- Glenn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
