[jira] [Comment Edited] (THRIFT-1965) Adds dot (graph language) generator

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13654624#comment-13654624 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------

I just tried it and I think it is a great documentation tool. Nice idea! (y)

A few comments:

1. Can the layout of the generated graphis be improved somehow? I rendered the Cassandra 1.1.0 interface and converted it into PNG using "sfdp -Gsize=67! -Goverlap=prism -Tpng file.gv > file.png" and got [this huge graphic|http://abload.de/img/cassandra_110c6yve.png] (~1.2 MB) where there is slight chaos especially around the Consistency enum. Maybe this a pure rendering issue only?

2. Another Thrift file gave me number of warnings "Warning: node Foo, port base_ unrecognized". The mentioned "base_" is a sub-struct referenced by the Foo structure.
