<p>This picture was generated from the <a
href="http://www.tortoisecvs.org">TortoiseCVS</a> source code
on 23 Feb 2002.  The arrows represent a dependency by one module of
the code on another module.

<p>You can inspect a graph and find where there are unnecessary dependencies.
This might be because of a forgotten <tt>#include</tt>, or because there is
a straightforward way to rewrite the code without the dependency.  This
will speed up compile times, and make code more useful to steal for
later projects.

<h2 align=center>cinclude2dot.pl</h2>

<p>This is the <a href="http://www.perl.com">Perl</a> script which
analyses C/C++ code and produces a <tt>#include</tt> dependency graph.
The output from the script is a dot file for input
into 
<a href="http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/">graphviz</a>.
This is an improved version of the original script, which 
<a href="http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/cinclude2dot/">you can
find here</a>. Many thanks to Darxus for creating the original.  The new
version adds directory clustering, file include path searching and
various other features.  Both are licensed under the GPL.
