    11= Converting Django models into Graphviz DOT files =

    3 Inspired by [http://www.hackdiary.com/archives/000093.html this nice hack by Matt Biddulph] I set out to create a similar thing for Django models. Below is an initial implementation, and here are some results generated with the OS X version of Graphviz:
     3Inspired 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.

    25 """Django model to DOT (Graphviz) converter
    26 by Antonio Cavedoni <antonio@cavedoni.org>
     11'''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.

    28 Make sure your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is set to your project and call

    168  * favo: I have a large app(some model has lots fields). The generated png file is too large. Maybe this tools could work in a concision mode which only contain related field and omit other fields of a model.
    169  * elvstone: How did you manage to get the edges to only reach the edge of the subgraphs? I get
