Thank you!
I feel stupid for posting a question when there is already a stackoverflow
answer. But now that I have that, I have all the information I need.
Greets,
Bram

Dear Haskelllers,
I've reacently started with Haskell and during the Dutch Hackaton[3],
I decided to generate graphs of dependencies. I was thinking about
doing this for Java earlier, and that weekend I decided to write the
tooling in Haskell.
Just to be clear, what are you referring to by dependencies:
* Package dependencies
* Inter-module dependencies
* Call-graph dependencies
And are you doing this on a per-module or a per-package basis?
I've written two programs: hs2dot[1] and dotimate[2]. The first
generates a dot file (Graphviz) from all .hs files below the current
working directory. The second will take one or more dot files and call
neato (from Graphviz) multiple times to generate frames of neato
output from one to the next.
Trying hs2dot and dotimate on two sequencial commits in the
cabal/cabal-install/frames directory already gives me a way to complex
and full graph. See attached.
== My question is: What dependencies, if any, would be nice to graph,
and/or which dependencies could I filter out to keep this from
becoming a mess?
First of all, consider this list of existing graph-based visualisation
tools for Haskell and see if any have some features you can duplicate:

I know in SourceGraph, my take was to try and do different kinds of
pruning, collapsing, etc. to shrink the information overload down
(however, I haven't touched SourceGraph apart from dependency updates
for quite a while).
