/*! \page diagrams Graphs and diagrams

  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 http://www.graphviz.org/

  If you have the "dot" tool in the path, you can set

  \ref cfg_have_dot "HAVE_DOT" to \c YES in the configuration file to 

  let doxygen use it.

  Doxygen uses the "dot" tool to generate the following graphs:

  
A graphical representation of the class hierarchy will be drawn, along 

      with the textual one. Currently this feature is supported for HTML only.\n

      Warning: When you have a very large class hierarchy where many 

      classes derive from a common base class, the resulting image may become 

      too big to handle for some browsers.

  
An inheritance graph will be generated for each documented class showing the 

      direct and indirect inheritance relations. This disables the

      generation of the built-in class inheritance diagrams.

  
An include dependency graph is generated for each documented file that 

      includes at least one other file. This feature is currently supported 

      for HTML and RTF only.

  
An inverse include dependency graph is also generated showing for

      a (header) file, which other files include it.

  
A graph is drawn for each documented class and struct that shows:

      
 the inheritance relations with base classes.

      
 the usage relations with other structs and classes (e.g. 

           class \c A has a member variable \c m_a of type class \c B, then

           \c A has an arrow to \c B with \c m_a as label).

  
if \ref cfg_call_graph "CALL_GRAPH" is set to YES, a 

      graphical call graph is drawn for each function showing the 

      functions that the function directly or indirectly calls

      (see also section \ref cmdcallgraph "\\callgraph" and

       section \ref cmdhidecallgraph "\\hidecallgraph").

  
if \ref cfg_caller_graph "CALLER_GRAPH" is set to YES, a 

      graphical caller graph is drawn for each function showing the 

      functions that the function is directly or indirectly called by

      (see also section \ref cmdcallergraph "\\callergraph" and

       section \ref cmdhidecallergraph "\\hidecallergraph").

  Using a \ref customize "layout file" you can determine which of the

  graphs are actually shown.

  The options \ref cfg_dot_graph_max_nodes "DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES" and

  \ref cfg_max_dot_graph_depth "MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH" can be used to 

  limit the size of the various graphs.

  The elements in the class diagrams in HTML and RTF 

  have the following meaning:

  
 A \b yellow box indicates a class. A box can have a 

       little marker in the lower right corner to indicate that the class 

       contains base classes that are hidden. 

       For the class diagrams the maximum tree width is currently 8 elements. 

       If a tree is wider some nodes will be hidden.

       If the box is filled with a 

       dashed pattern the inheritance relation is virtual.

  
 A \b white box indicates that the documentation of the class

       is currently shown.

  
 A \b gray box indicates an undocumented class.

  
 A solid dark blue arrow indicates public inheritance.

  
 A dashed dark green arrow indicates protected inheritance.

  
 A dotted dark green arrow indicates private inheritance.

  The elements in the class diagram in \LaTeX have the 

  following meaning:

  
 A \b white box indicates a class.

       A \b marker in the lower right corner of the box indicates that the 

       class has base classes that are hidden. 

       If the box has a \b dashed border this indicates virtual inheritance.

  
 A \b solid arrow indicates public inheritance.

  
 A \b dashed arrow indicates protected inheritance.

  
 A \b dotted arrow indicates private inheritance.

  The elements in the graphs generated by the dot tool have the following

  meaning:

  
 A \b white box indicates a class or struct or file. 

  
 A box with a \b red border indicates a node that has

       \e more arrows than are shown! 

       In other words: the graph is \e truncated with respect to this node.

       The reason why a graph is sometimes truncated is to prevent images

       from becoming too large. 

       For the graphs generated with dot doxygen tries

       to limit the width of the resulting image to 1024 pixels.  

  
 A \b black box indicates that the class' documentation is currently shown.

  
 A dark blue arrow indicates an include relation (for the 

       include dependency graph) or public inheritance (for the other graphs).

  
 A dark green arrow indicates protected inheritance.

  
 A dark red arrow indicates private inheritance.

  
 A purple dashed arrow indicated a "usage" relation, the 

       edge of the arrow is labeled with the variable(s) responsible for the

       relation.

       Class \c A uses class \c B, if class \c A has a member variable \c m 

       of type C, where B is a subtype of C (e.g. `C` could be `B`, `B*`, `T*`). 

Here are a couple of header files that together show the various diagrams

that doxygen can generate: 

diagrams_a.h

\include diagrams_a.h

diagrams_b.h

\include diagrams_b.h

diagrams_c.h

\include diagrams_c.h

diagrams_d.h

\include diagrams_d.h

diagrams_e.h

\include diagrams_e.h
