Support additional Graphs

[kg-intec]

First, nice plugin 👍

However, good things can always be improved... There are many types of additional graphs supported by doxygen:

• Call graphs
• Caller Graphs
• UML diagrams
• Directory Graphs

As well as diagrams from PlantUML, which can be defined directly in the code. Support for this would be great!

Examples:

• Class Graph
• Directory Graph

Thank you for a good idea, I will look at it in the future.
Generating automatic navigation has got a higher priority.

To enable this feature in Doxygen

• HAVE_DOT = YES
• https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/config.html#cfg_have_dot

Choose inheritance graph

• DOT
  • It is by default
    https://graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html
• UML
  • It is optional and must be enabled in Doxyfile
  • UML_LOOK = YES
  • https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/config.html#cfg_uml_look

Other interesting options

• GENERATE_LEGEND = NO

  • https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/config.html#cfg_generate_legend
  • It will disable the legend in the bottom of the page

• SEARCHENGINE = NO

  • https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/config.html#cfg_searchengine
  • It will disable the search engine in the top of the page - speed up the page load

It is not possible to generate any graphs withouth GENERATE_HTML = YES in Doxyfile.

The MkDoxy plugin will use:

• XML output

  • for recursive parsing of the Doxygen output

• HTML output

  • for reusing the images generated by Doxygen

Sadly it is probably not possible to generate source code for custom graphs rendering.

• Graphviz supports exporting images to SVG, but the result contains whit background (not transparent)

Hi @JakubAndrysek
does it already work with mkdoxy?
I mean, I could generate the html folder into mkdoxy, but mkdocs serve doesn't show the graphs

thanks!

[JakubAndrysek]

Yes, it is as you described. Showing graphs in md pages is not implemented.
If you would like to help with development, I would be very grateful.

Have a nice day, Jacob

[JakubAndrysek]

Something is coming!

I have tried to implement showing diagrams, but it needs more time to finish the task.
The branch is under development: diagrams-support

GENERATE_HTML: YES
HAVE_DOT: YES
DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT: svg

GENERATE_HTML: YES
HAVE_DOT: YES
DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT: svg
UML_LOOK: YES

Really like the plugin and are planning to use it a lot!:)
Having these UML diagrams would be really beneficial imo!
Are there any plans on when to release this?
Thanks in advance
