NAME

       pmd_grapher - display Module::Dependency info in a graphical manner


SYNOPSIS

               pmd_grapher.plx [-h] [-t]
                       [-f FORMAT] [-o <datafile>]
                       [-m REGEX] [-n REGEX] [-s START_AT [-r] [-b]]
                       <filename>

               -h Displays this help
               -t Displays tracing messages
               -f Choose an output format - default is 'png'
                  'text' - Output with the makeText method to emit a plaintext tree.
                  'html' - Output with the makeHtml method to emit an HTML fragment.
                  'gif'/'png' - Output an image.
                  'ps'/'eps' - Output (Encapsulated) PostScript (requires PostScript::Simple)
                  'svg' - Scalable Vector Graphic
               -o the location of the datafile (default is $ENV{PERL_PMD_DB} or /var/tmp/dependence/unified.dat)
               -m Optional regular expression - only show dependencies that match this expression
               -n Optional regular expression - do not show dependencies that match this expression
               -s Starts the dependency tree at this script/module
                  Default is to start with ALL scripts
                  Can be like 'foo,bar' to start with a list of items.
               -r Reverse dependency, i.e. show the things that depend upon
                  a package, not the things a package depends upon.
                  The default is to show forward dependencies only.
               -b Both ways dependency - show parents and children.
               <filename> The file where you want to send the output.
                  Use - for STDOUT.

               NB: If no -f option is supplied we guess the format by looking at the
               filename. If we still can't guess then the default is used - PNG.


EXAMPLE

               pmd_grapher.plx -t -s Module::Dependency::Info -o ./unified.dat foo.gif


DESCRIPTION

       The best way to show and understand dependency relations is using a
       tree diagram.  This program creates a visual dependency tree, going in
       both directions if required to give parent and/or child relationships.
