Jun 25, 2020 · Learn how to use Doxygen to automatically generate source code documentation for your Python based projects.

You can use doxygen to document your Python code. You can either use the Python documentation string syntax: """@package docstring Documentation for this module.

Doxygen has built-in support to generate inheritance diagrams for C++ classes. Doxygen can use the "dot" tool from graphviz to generate more advanced diagrams and graphs. Graphviz is an open-source, cross-platform graph drawing toolkit and can be found at https://www.graphviz.org/

Aug 30, 2021 · I am trying to generate a Doxygen documentation for my Python project. It seems like Doxygen does not provide an overall class diagram of the project including Association. It shows only inheritance for a single file.

Sep 25, 2018 · I have a complex python-selenium test suite (using py.test) in a folder, and I waht to use doxygen to generate a documentation of all files (and, more importantly, the call graphs of what method is calling what method etc.).

# Example Doxyfile for a Python (package) project. # # - Install Doxgen (e.g. via `sudo apt-get install doxygen`). # - Run `doxgen` to generate HTML documentation in a `html/` subdirectory. # # Generates call graphs, picks up all modules recursively, ignores test modules. # Docstrings are rendered in typewriter; this may be able to fix via the

For Python there is a standard way of documenting the code using so called documentation strings ("""). Such strings are stored in __doc__ and can be retrieved at runtime. Doxygen will extract such comments and assume they have to be represented in a preformatted way.

Jun 25, 2020 · An example Python program, and associated module, demonstrating how to use Doxygen style comments for generating source code documentation with Doxygen. The doxygen directory holds the Doxygen configuration file (Doxyfile) along with the generated documentation.

Doxygen will analyse your code to create documentation for code written in any of: Additionally, you can annotate your source code to structure and improve the documentation. It will optionally produce files and invoke GraphViz to diagram the code relationships.

# If the CLASS_DIAGRAMS tag is set to YES, doxygen will generate a class diagram # (in HTML and LaTeX) for classes with base or super classes. Setting the tag to # NO turns the diagrams off. Note that this option also works with HAVE_DOT # disabled, but it is recommended to install and use dot, since it yields more # powerful graphs.
