A colleague of mine had asked me if I could produce some kind of object/module dependency type of graph for a D project I've got. I'm not sure what these are called but I've seen them before for inheritance hierarchies in C++ projects. (I don't tend to use inheritance so I suspect something exactly like this would not be terribly helpful in my case but some kind of general layout of symbol dependencies would be).

Is there any utility out there for building a visual representation of my project?

If you compile your project with the -deps flag, the compiler will output import dependencies. With -deps=filename, the output will go into filename.

>From there, you'll have to parse and create the graph, though. Maybe
have a look into rdmd source, to see how the dependency extraction is done there?

This may be what you're looking for:

Thanks! Between the -deps flag and duml I think this is exactly what I need.
