Graph

Topic: graph

Explanation

protoparser analyze <pml_file> graph outputs a Mermaid-compatible graph with built-in styling for .pml imports and @tags_import relationships.

This is useful for understanding document structure and shared tag dependencies. The generated .mmd file is Mermaid source, so it should be opened in Mermaid-capable software such as the Mermaid Live Editor if you want to inspect or edit it directly. When -output=... is used, ProtoML now also writes a companion HTML preview next to the .mmd file for direct browser visualization.

The graph can be adjusted with:

-graphView=compact
-graphView=full
-graphView=imports
-graphView=tags
-graphDirection=TD|LR|RL|BT

It is recommended to wrap the file path and output path in double quotes.

Examples

protoparser analyze "Meeting.pml" graph
protoparser analyze "Meeting.pml" graph -graphView=full -graphDirection=LR
protoparser analyze "Meeting.pml" graph -output="meeting-graph"
