.. highlight:: rest
:mod:`sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram` -- Include inheritance diagrams
=====================================================================
.. module:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram
:synopsis: Support for displaying inheritance diagrams via graphviz.
.. versionadded:: 0.6
This extension allows you to include inheritance diagrams, rendered via the
:mod:`Graphviz extension <sphinx.ext.graphviz>`.
It adds this directive:
.. rst:directive:: inheritance-diagram
This directive has one or more arguments, each giving a module or class
name. Class names can be unqualified; in that case they are taken to exist
in the currently described module (see :rst:dir:`py:module`).
For each given class, and each class in each given module, the base classes
are determined. Then, from all classes and their base classes, a graph is
generated which is then rendered via the graphviz extension to a directed
graph.
This directive supports an option called ``parts`` that, if given, must be an
integer, advising the directive to keep that many dot-separated parts
in the displayed names (from right to left). For example, ``parts=1`` will
only display class names, without the names of the modules that contain
them.
.. versionchanged:: 2.0
The value of for ``parts`` can also be negative, indicating how many
parts to drop from the left. For example, if all your class names start
with ``lib.``, you can give ``:parts: -1`` to remove that prefix from the
displayed node names.
The directive also supports a ``private-bases`` flag option; if given,
private base classes (those whose name starts with ``_``) will be included.
You can use ``caption`` option to give a caption to the diagram.
.. versionchanged:: 1.1
Added ``private-bases`` option; previously, all bases were always
included.
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
Added ``caption`` option
It also supports a ``top-classes`` option which requires one or more class
names separated by comma. If specified inheritance traversal will stop at the
specified class names. Given the following Python module::
"""
A
/ \
B C
/ \ / \
E D F
"""
class A:
pass
class B(A):
pass
class C(A):
pass
class D(B, C):
pass
class E(B):
pass
class F(C):
pass
If you have specified a module in the inheritance diagram like this::
.. inheritance-diagram:: dummy.test
:top-classes: dummy.test.B, dummy.test.C
any base classes which are ancestors to ``top-classes`` and are also defined
in the same module will be rendered as stand alone nodes. In this example
class A will be rendered as stand alone node in the graph. This is a known
issue due to how this extension works internally.
If you don't want class A (or any other ancestors) to be visible then specify
only the classes you would like to generate the diagram for like this::
.. inheritance-diagram:: dummy.test.D dummy.test.E dummy.test.F
:top-classes: dummy.test.B, dummy.test.C
.. versionchanged:: 1.7
Added ``top-classes`` option to limit the scope of inheritance graphs.
Examples
--------
The following are different inheritance diagrams for the internal
``InheritanceDiagram`` class that implements the directive.
With full names::
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
Showing class names only::
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
:parts: 1
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
:parts: 1
Stopping the diagram at :class:`sphinx.util.docutils.SphinxDirective` (the
highest superclass still part of Sphinx), and dropping the common left-most
part (``sphinx``) from all names::
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
:top-classes: sphinx.util.docutils.SphinxDirective
:parts: -1
.. inheritance-diagram:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
:top-classes: sphinx.util.docutils.SphinxDirective
:parts: -1
.. py:class:: sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram.InheritanceDiagram
:no-contents-entry:
:no-index-entry:
The internal class that implements the ``inheritance-diagram`` directive.
Configuration
-------------
.. confval:: inheritance_graph_attrs
A dictionary of graphviz graph attributes for inheritance diagrams.
For example::
inheritance_graph_attrs = dict(rankdir="LR", size='"6.0, 8.0"',
fontsize=14, ratio='compress')
.. confval:: inheritance_node_attrs
A dictionary of graphviz node attributes for inheritance diagrams.
For example::
inheritance_node_attrs = dict(shape='ellipse', fontsize=14, height=0.75,
color='dodgerblue1', style='filled')
.. confval:: inheritance_edge_attrs
A dictionary of graphviz edge attributes for inheritance diagrams.
.. confval:: inheritance_alias
Allows mapping the full qualified name of the class to custom values
(useful when exposing the underlying path of a class is not desirable,
e.g. it's a private class and should not be instantiated by the user).
For example::
inheritance_alias = {'_pytest.Magic': 'pytest.Magic'}
