When you document your package using Roxygen, you can generate callgraphs (using the @callGraph and/or @callGraphPrimitives tags). The roxygen package homepage can be found at http://roxygen.org/ and the vignette has an example of a call graph (and how to generate it).

Re: [R] Automatic code diagramming for R?
findGlobals in the codetools package can find all the functions that a function calls and you could construct a call graph from that by combining that with RGraphviz in Bioconductor. For example, the proto package can automatically create a graph using RGraphviz showing the parent child relationship among the proto objects in a program. The graph at the top of the following page was generated like that from the program that you can view by clicking on the image: http://code.google.com/p/r-proto/wiki/Overview Its mainly applicable if you use proto but does illustrate the use of RGraphviz.

This thread mentioning package mvbutils, function foodweb() might give you a start? http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/04/24587.html Best, Erik Ben Bryant wrote: Greetings - Is anyone aware of an automatic code diagrammer/flow chart creator that works for the R language (either a contributed package, or external software)?
