Butterfly - Classic

See a selected entity's full relationship neighborhood in one diagram: everything it depends on, and everything that depends on it, at once.

Which relationship is shown depends on what's selected: functions and subprograms show Calls and Called By; classes, structs, and interfaces show Base Classes and Derived Classes (or Extends and Extended By for Java and Pascal); Ada types show their derivation chain; files show Include and Includeby; VHDL entities show Use and Useby. That makes it useful for impact analysis — seeing at a glance what a change to the selected entity could affect both upstream and downstream — without opening two separate graphs.

See also the compare graph.

This variant is a plugin. It can be enabled/disabled from the Plugin Manager.

Back to Butterfly

Butterfly - Compare (Classic)

Compare a selected entity's full relationship neighborhood between two versions of the project, in one diagram: everything it depends on, and everything that depends on it, with entities and edges colored by whether they were added, removed, or changed.

Which relationship is compared depends on what's selected, the same as in the Classic variant: functions and subprograms compare Calls and Called By; classes, structs, and interfaces compare Base Classes and Derived Classes; and so on. That makes it useful for reviewing how a function's or class's full calling or inheritance context changed across a refactor or release — whether new callers appeared, old ones disappeared, or an override was added or removed — without diffing two separate graphs.

See also the classic graph.
