Differences: + - GraphViz::Data::Structure handles structures of arbitrary depth and + complexity, automatically following links using a standard graph + traversal algorithm. + - GraphViz::Data::Grapher creates graphics of indiividual substructures + (arrays, scalars, hashes) which keep the substructure type and data + together; GraphViz::Data::Structure does this by shape alone. + - GraphViz::Data::Structure encapsulates object info (if any) directly + into the node being used to represent the class. + - GraphViz::Data::Grapher colors its graphs; GraphViz::Data::Structure + doesn't by default. + - GraphViz::Data:Structure can parse out globs and CODE references (almost + as well as the debugger does). |
