自定义UML生成器

Question

I have been working on a proprietary industrial system for some time now, and just recently I was asked to make an UML-diagram of what I have done. However, I have worked on several hundred classes and functions, and do not wish to manually create this diagram.

This system is written in a very exotic language (PLC/Structured Text), not commonly used by programmers. The syntax, I'm told, is somewhat Pascal-like, and all files are saved in a collection of XML's. Each XML represent some kind of object, like functions, "function blocks" (essentially classes), "programs" (sort of like a static function), enums or structs.

These objects typically have a declaration and an implementation tag within the XML.

Parsing this type of code structure is not a difficult task using some standard XML-parser. Using a simple string matcher, I can classify each object and its relation to other objects. For the moment being, I have done this using Python.

My question is, assuming I know the structure of the code (object relations, etc), is there a tool or a programming library that may generate an UML diagram for me?

I am thinking something like NetworkX , however this does not seem to be able generate the format I need in a simple manner.

Cheers!

Answer 1

It can be made using this website, using something like dot format (it is their specific format).

As an example, this code:

<img src='http://g.gravizo.com/g?
/**
*Structural Things
*@opt commentname
*@note Notes can
*be extended to
*span multiple lines
*/
class Structural{}

/**
*@opt all
*@note Class
*/
class Counter extends Structural {
        static public int counter;
        public int getCounter%28%29;
}

/**
*@opt shape activeclass
*@opt all
*@note Active Class
*/
class RunningCounter extends Counter{}
'>

gives this:

If I can suggest Acceleo ? It implemnts UML2Text specification and is a tool to build generator from UML diagram and is an Eclipse plugin.

But your language seems so specific that it should be hard to find an existing generator.
