I imagine you used cflow and dot

I have done the same and it totally saved my ass on legacy code that I was tasked with extending or fixing.

I just pumped the output of dot to a static web page. It was awesome.

Also, I rendered the entire graph as a single page, and started printing it tiled to multiple 8.5x11 sheets. One of the women I worked with that did all our document versioning and tracking saw me taping the sheets together, and asked me for a copy of the document. An hour later she walked into my office with a single page print from a 42" plotter. That hung like artwork on my office wall for about eight years.

She was a wonderful soul for that. And the print was beautiful.

I never thought of getting a big plot or print of our graph. That is a great idea. :)
