Creating call graphs

Installation

sudo apt-get install graphviz
pip3 install gprof2dot

Usage

Generate data using python3

python3 -m cProfile -o test.profile ./MAdZ.py
#                       ^^^^^^^       ^^^^^
#                     output file   input file (to be analysed)

Generate a .dot file from profiled data:

gprof2dot -f pstats test.profile -o callingGrpah.dot

Generate a .png with 300 dpi resolution (default = 96dpi) from our .dot-file using graphviz:

dot -Tpng -Gdpi=300 callingGrpah.dot > callingGrpah.png

We also want a .svg:

dot -Tsvg callingGrpah.dot > callingGrpah.svg
