A project from 2012-2013, uploaded for historical curiosity. Generates a call graph from Arma 2 SQF script files and outputs it as an edge list csv file. If the code breaks, you get to keep both parts.
Run with with java org.myrskynkantaja.harakka.sqfcallgraph.SQFCallGraph path\to\folder\full\of\sqf location\of\output\csv\file
This program was developed to help with documentation of the F2 framework back in the Arma 2 days. I recall there was some attempt to update it to Arma 3 SQF changes when we started to work on F2's successor, F3, but that work was never finished.
The program parses through a folder of sqf code, starting from init.sqf, and descends into subfolders as needed. It follows all the different commands that execute code from other files (execvm, #include, addaction, compile preprocessfile and compile preprocessfilelinenumbers) and stores the resulting connections between files as an edge graph as rows in a CSV file, in the format
file_from_which_call_was_initiated,file_which_was_called,command_type
The command type can thus be used as a label for the edge between nodes.
For visualization the process I used was:
- Import the resulting CSV file into Google Sheets
- Export from Google Sheets as XLSX
- Import XSLX into yEd, with Edge Representation: Edge List, Data Range: column A to column C, Source IDs from column A, Target IDs from column B, and Label Text: Node Label. Then run the resulting graph through Hierarchic Layout tool and set the various label font settings and such in whichever way you find readable.
- Export resulting graph into png from yEd.
An example of such a graph, generated from latest release of F2 at the time (2.7.3), is included below. The CSV file used to generate the image is also provided in the repo as example.csv.
