.SH NAME

pyreverse \- parse python sources files and extract diagrams from

them.

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B pyreverse 

.I [options]

<modules>

.SH DESCRIPTION

.B pyreverse

is a python source analyzer. It parses a 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 

.B -c

).

If no -c and no --diadefs option specified, 

.B 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>,

.B pyreverse 

creates a diagram for that <class> with filename <class>.<format>.

You can do -c <class1> , -c <class2>. 

.SH OPTIONS

.IP "-h, --help"

show this help message and exit

.IP "-p<name>, --project=<name>"

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

.IP "-i<file>, --ignore=<file>"

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

.IP "-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 [currentt: PUB_ONLY]

.IP "-d<file>, --diadefs=<file>"

create diagram according to the diagrams definitions in <file>

.IP "-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' ).

.IP   -a <ancestor>, --show-ancestors=<ancestor>

show <ancestor> generations of ancestor classes not in <projects>

.IP   -A, --all-ancestors=[yn]

show all ancestors off all classes in <projects> [current: none]

.IP   -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 fecthed by<depth>=1.

.IP   -S, --all-associated=[yn]

show recursively all associated off all associated classes [current: none]

.IP  "-b, --builtin"

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

.IP   "-m [yn], --module-names=[yn]"

include module name in representation of classes. This will include full 

module path in the class name. [current: none]

.IP  "-k, --only-classnames"

don't show attributes and methods in the class boxes;  

this disables -f values [current: False]

.IP "-o <format>, --output=<format>"

create a *.<format> output file if format available. Available formats

are all formats that dot can produce and 

.B vcg.

[default: dot]

.SH EXAMPLES

 Here are some examples for command line options :

.IP "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 same way the 

.B -a, -s, -A, -S

options. 

Note that on class diagrams (using

.B -c

) -a and -s will rather reduce than enlarge your diagram.

.IP "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).
