NAME

GraphViz::Makefile - Create Makefile graphs using GraphViz

SYNOPSIS

    use GraphViz::Makefile;
    my $gm = GraphViz::Makefile->new(undef, "Makefile");
    $gm->generate("makefile-rule");
    open(O, ">makefile.ps") or die $!;
    binmode O;
    print $gm->GraphViz->as_ps;
    close O;

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

new($graphviz, $makefile, $prefix, %args)

Create a GraphViz::Makefile object. The first argument should be a GraphViz object or undef. In the latter case, a new GraphViz object is created by the constructor. The second argument should be a Make object, the filename of a Makefile, or undef. In the latter case, the default Makefile is used. The third argument $prefix is optional and can be used to prepend a prefix to all rule names in the graph output.

Further arguments (specified as key-value pairs):

reversed => 1

Point arrows in the direction of dependencies. If not set, then the arrows point in the direction of "build flow".

generate($rule)

Generate the graph, beginning at the named Makefile rule. If $rule is not given, all is used instead.

GraphViz

Return a reference to the GraphViz object. This object can be used for the output methods.

Make

Return a reference to the Make object.

MEMBERS

For backward compatibility, the following members in the hash-based GraphViz::Makefile object may be used instead of the methods:

• GraphViz

• Make

ALTERNATIVES

There's another module doing the same thing: Makefile::GraphViz.
