Abstract
Doxygen is the de facto standard tool for generating documentation from annotated C++ sources, but it also supports other popular programming languages such as C, Objective-C, C#, PHP, Java, Python, IDL (Corba, Microsoft, and UNO/OpenOffice flavors), Fortran, VHDL and so on.
Works in 2 ways:
- It can generate an on-line documentation browser and/or an off-line reference manual from a set of documented source files. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
- Configure doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. Doxygen can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically.
