Constructor Detail

CFGToDotGraph

public CFGToDotGraph()

Returns a CFGToDotGraph converter which will draw the graph as a single arbitrarily-sized page, with full-length node labels.

If asked to draw a ExceptionalGraph, the converter will identify the exceptions that will be thrown. By default, it will distinguish different edges by coloring regular control flow edges black, exceptional control flow edges red, and thrown exception edges light gray. Head and tail nodes are filled in, head nodes with gray, and tail nodes with light gray.

Method Detail

setOnePage

public void setOnePage(boolean onePage)

Specify whether to split the graph into pages.

Parameters:

onePage - indicates whether to produce the graph as a single, arbitrarily-sized page (if onePage is true) or several 8.5x11-inch pages (if onePage is false).

setBriefLabels

public void setBriefLabels(boolean useBrief)

Specify whether to abbreviate the text in node labels. This is most relevant when the nodes represent basic blocks: abbreviated node labels contain only a numeric label for the block, while unabbreviated labels contain the code of its instructions.

Parameters:

useBrief - indicates whether to abbreviate the text of node labels.

setShowExceptions

public void setShowExceptions(boolean showExceptions)

Specify whether the graph should depict the exceptions which each node may throw, in the form of an edge from the throwing node to the handler (if any), labeled with the possible exception types. This parameter has an effect only when drawing ExceptionalGraphs.

Parameters:

showExceptions - indicates whether to show possible exceptions and their handlers.

setUnexceptionalControlFlowAttr

public void setUnexceptionalControlFlowAttr(String id,
                                            String value)

Specify the dot graph attribute to use for regular control flow edges. This parameter has an effect only when drawing ExceptionalGraphs.

Parameters:

id - The attribute name, for example "style" or "color".

value - The attribute value, for example "solid" or "black".

setExceptionalControlFlowAttr

public void setExceptionalControlFlowAttr(String id,
                                          String value)

Specify the dot graph attribute to use for exceptional control flow edges. This parameter has an effect only when drawing ExceptionalGraphs.

Parameters:

id - The attribute name, for example "style" or "color".

value - The attribute value, for example "dashed" or "red".

"Drawing graphs with dot"

setExceptionEdgeAttr

public void setExceptionEdgeAttr(String id,
                                 String value)

Specify the dot graph attribute to use for edges depicting the exceptions each node may throw, and their handlers. This parameter has an effect only when drawing ExceptionalGraphs.

Parameters:

id - The attribute name, for example "style" or "color".

value - The attribute value, for example "dotted" or "lightgray".

See Also:

"Drawing graphs with dot"

setHeadAttr

public void setHeadAttr(String id,
                        String value)

Specify the dot graph attribute to use for head nodes (in addition to filling in the nodes).

Parameters:

id - The attribute name, for example "fillcolor".

value - The attribute value, for example "gray".

See Also:

"Drawing graphs with dot"

setTailAttr

public void setTailAttr(String id,
                        String value)

Specify the dot graph attribute to use for tail nodes (in addition to filling in the nodes).

Parameters:

id - The attribute name, for example "fillcolor".

value - The attribute value, for example "lightgray".

See Also:

"Drawing graphs with dot"

drawCFG

public <N> DotGraph drawCFG(DirectedGraph<N> graph,
                            Body body)

Create a DotGraph whose nodes and edges depict a control flow graph without distinguished exceptional edges.

Parameters:

graph - a DirectedGraph representing a CFG (probably an instance of UnitGraph, BlockGraph, or one of their subclasses).

body - the Body represented by graph (used to format the text within nodes). If no body is available, pass null.

Returns:

a visualization of graph.

drawCFG

public <N> DotGraph drawCFG(ExceptionalGraph<N> graph)

Create a DotGraph whose nodes and edges depict the control flow in a ExceptionalGraph, with distinguished edges for exceptional control flow.

Parameters:

graph - the control flow graph

Returns:

a visualization of graph.
