Slow by Tripp-phpBB · 2011-01-16 13:55 · Score: 1

Hmm, slow loading but it does load but once it does I can not zoom or anything. Says connection to slow or site overloaded. Fail -_-

  That makes absolutely no sense at all.
  How about "$ make anti_slashdotting && sudo make install" instead ?

keyboard shortcut? by Anonymous Coward · 2011-01-16 14:46 · Score: 1

I like the keyboard instructions
Keyboard:
PgDn, PgUp,
Dbl Click - zoom
arrows - pan
So, the keyboard shortcut for zoom is double click?

Software used to create this interactive map? by PatPending · 2011-01-16 16:02 · Score: 3, Interesting

Color me impressed!
I'm curious--is the software used to create this interactive map freely available? And if so can it be used on "any" C language project? (I'd like to try it out on the one I'm working with--about 770 .c and .h files.)

  Doxygen and Graphviz are tools that auto-generate graphs and graphics from source, you might want to check it out. A word of warning though: I've found code that doesn't have clear structure when it is in source form also doesn't have clear structure when it is drawn in diagrams.

  Doxygen is generally broken for complex projects, or any project that uses macros intesively, or any project that uses define shields to limit the scope of what is available through specific interfaces.
  If I run the default config of Doxygen through the server I'm working on, I get maybe 20MB worth of doc, which is utterly imcomplete (it interprets macros as function definitions in classes, etc).
  If I deactivate the macro parsing, it includes _everything_, which means 30 redefinitions of the same classes/methods.
  In the end, I wrote a perl script that expanded some macros (list definitions inside of classes, getter/setters, etc), and Doxygen generated about 10GB worth of doc.
