Sorry, not sure why I found that *so* funny (must be my sick-twisted-humor), apologies to all. I hold little love for UML, and as it never really "caught-on" in Computer Science (for various reasons), it's clear I'm not alone.

Class hierarchies are "free" in Doxygen, and the Graphvix plugin to Trac similarly make these "free" (parsed from original source). I understand the Qt docs are created from a Doxygen-like "derivative", but as projects get larger, I find UML-like graphs to take up too much space and provide insufficient information (they aren't very useful) in production-level infrastructures. We have UML graphs available (for free) in our code bases, but we don't really find them useful (they are too busy, take up too much visual space, and provide the wrong kind of detail). YMMV. --charley
