I have been using ActiveState's Komodo for about 2 years and like it
very much. One thing would be great to do, but I have not figured out
how to do this yet.

As programs get bigger and bigger, I was wondering if anyone has
found/created a tool to visualize the relationships between procedures?

Idealy, I would like to see some kind of tree structure that for any
specific procedure in your code would show you what proc's/functions it
called in order to execute properly.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyone done something like this?

Dave

Dave,

Are you aware of Source-Navigator? It can be found here:

Also, "call graph" is the term to search for (more than a tree, because
if a calls c and b calls c, there would be just one c node with edges
from a and b).
Static call graphs http://mini.net/tcl/14474 can be obtained by parsing
the source, but they may not give the full picture in a dynamic
language like Tcl, Dynamic call graphs http://wiki.tcl.tk/14471 monitor
at runtime who calls whom, but might miss rarely visited corners of
code.

The Tcl Dev Kit's Cross-Reference Tool provides this functionality.
