Just to be clear, what are you referring to by "dependencies": * Package dependencies * Inter-module dependencies * Call-graph dependencies And are you doing this on a per-module or a per-package basis? > > I've written two programs: hs2dot[1] and dotimate[2].

First of all, consider this list of existing graph-based visualisation tools for Haskell and see if any have some features you can duplicate: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7427094/generate-diagrams-for-haskell-code I know in SourceGraph, my take was to try and do different kinds of pruning, collapsing, etc. to shrink the information overload down (however, I haven't touched SourceGraph apart from dependency updates for quite a while). > > Greetings, > > Bram Neijt > > [1] https://gist.github.com/bneijt/hs2dot > [2] https://gist.github.com/bneijt/dotimate > [3] http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/DHD_UHac#Utrecht_Hackathon > > _______________________________________________ > Haskell-Cafe mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe > -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic [email protected] http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
