[Doxygen-users] want to create huge call graph

[Patrick <pa...@sp...>]

Hi Everyone

This is my first post here.

I want to create an enormous call graph to mount on a wall. I tried
changing this:

HTML_INDEX_NUM_ENTRIES = 1000

but it didn't seem to help. Is there a way to create a super huge PNG ?

Thanks for reading-Patrick

In my experience, people who want to create enormous graphs think they
will make it easier to understand something that is very complex. It
won't.

To understand something complex requires isolation of its parts. In
computese, it's called encapsulation. Each part has an interface and
understanding the whole thing requires building up knowledge by
understand the interface to each part.

Hi Everyone

Please don't pre-judge me. I am in a very unusual and very difficult
situation. My workflow looks nothing like yours-Patrick

Since you can't possibly know my workflow, I think we can agree that we
both don't know the size of each other's shoes. 😉

Humongous graphs are just as hard to understand as multiple files. The
key to both is to understand the parts and build up from there.

forget it, I will figure this out myself.

Just for the record, I hardly have any time to look at multiple files(I
can late at night but I am too exhausted). I am caring for sick loved
ones and the best I can do is look at a graph on the wall in the
fleeting moments I have between different tasks I need to do for them.

Just in case this helps some one, I changed this from 50 to 500 and
ended up with a massive graph:

DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES    = 500

It's very slow to produce but it doesn't bother me....
