It can generate documentation from the source code and also automatically visualize the relationships between modules, dependency graphs, and inheritance diagrams, by using the dot tool from Graphviz. Refer to the website at www.doxygen.org. To be able to generate documents from the source code, it requires proper comments and tags in the source code. Here are some tips that may be worth reading.
