     7The [http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/ Django-extensions] version seems to be most up-to-date. You only need this file, not the whole project:

    27 Once you use this python script to generate the dot file ({{{app.dot}}}), ensure you have {{{dot}}} installed (part of Graphviz), and issue:
     23{{{
     24python modelviz.py myapp myotherapp > app.dot
     25}}}
     26For more options, run with `--help`

     28Once you use this python script to generate the dot file ({{{app.dot}}}), you should be able to open it with [http://www.graphviz.org/ Graphviz]. To convert to a png, ensure you have {{{dot}}} installed (part of Graphviz), and issue:

    36 [http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/ Django-extensions] (formerly named Django-command-extensions) already provides a command to visualize your models. Using an improved version of the modelviz script. It also includes/supports grouping of your Django applications. Which will group all models of a single app together. This makes larger projects much easier and clearer to view.
