A tool to generate GraphViz UML diagrams from Matlab code, with hyperlinks back to the code.

The main purpose of this tool is to help with understanding the current class oriented design of your software, while providing a quick way to navigate through it. It does this by using the HTML-like table notation provided by GraphViz to build the UML representations that have embedded hyperlinks to the associated location in the code.

For example, a UML class property, "myProp" for "MyClass" will take you to the exact line number where "myProp" is defined within "MyClass". For this to work, you must generate an SVG with GraphViz and open it with Matlab (no other browser). I just use the same formatting that is used by Matlab's "profile viewer". I'll likely add more to it over time to automate generating and accessing the diagrams, but for now you must use GraphViz to generate the diagrams from the .dot file.
