= Converting Django models into Graphviz DOT files =

Inspired by [http://www.hackdiary.com/archives/000093.html this nice hack by Matt Biddulph], this is a Python script that generates a Graphviz DOT file for quick visualizations of Django model definitions. 

== Source code ==

[http://unicoders.org/code/django/trunk/utils/modelviz.py View online] or [http://code.unicoders.org/django/trunk/utils/modelviz.py download from Subversion repository] (you could also set it as a svn:external on your repository to keep up to date with the latest revisons.)

== Examples ==

'''Nota bene''': this samples are generated from an old version of the script, 0.4, which you can download from [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoGraphviz?version=10 here]. The script is currently undergoing some refactoring.
