    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.
