I'd like to find and run a program on the source code that gives a picture based
overview of the architecture. A UML class diagram like the one at
http://www.agilemodeling.com/artifacts/classDiagram.htm is a good example of a picture
overview.
@Quintus, what types of programs do you usually use for this? Do you think DOxygen will
do this easily with our current codebase? An editable drawing (like is found in Libre
office) would be better than a static image, since then we can move the nodes around.

Doxygen automatically generates graphs if you have dot(1) installed and
activated the respective configuration option in the Doxyfile (I think
we have that enabled). These graphs are not full UML diagrams, though,
but only inheritance and component diagrams.
If I need to make UML diagrams manually, I use an oldschool paper and
pencil. I have not yet found an OSS program that makes the creation of
these easy. If needed, I can scan in the sheet of paper with the
diagram.
I have not made such a diagram for TSC.
Vale,
Quintus

This is what I did when I coded a space shooter some years ago, except that I used
OpenOffice Draw rather than paper and pencil. A friend of mine said, "Oh, there are
tools that will automatically generate those from your code - there's no need to do
that!" Thus I figured I'd better find one of these tools.

It doesn't have to be UML as long as it shows what objects contain what objects and
call methods on other objects graphically. I also really need to be able to drag and drop
graphical elements, though if it works with dot, I assume this will handle that.
