Models from Code

Use MacTranslator and WinTranslator to understand legacy code, class libraries, open source or example projects. See the big picture when planning or estimating projects, reusing code, fixing defects or developing new software. Click a few buttons and piles of source code are transformed into an organized stack of diagrams.

Generate three kinds of models from code:

Structure Charts from C, Pascal, Basic, Fortran and PHP
Class Diagrams from Visual Basic, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, Ada, Objective-C, Xojo, Swift and PHP
Data Models from SQL

Learn how to translate source code from one programming language to another with the white paper, Source Code Translation.

MacTranslator and WinTranslator Highlights

	Large Projects Large projects may have millions of code lines in thousands of files and folders. Document unfamiliar code in minutes.		Project File A project file has a list of commands to process files in each code folder. Most reengineering projects are fully automated with a developer customized process.		Intelligent Automation Enter programming language and code folder locations through a series of screens, then generate and run the project file.
	Multiple Languages C++, C#, Objective-C, Delphi, Swift, PHP, Visual Basic, Xojo and Java programmers get class models and dictionary from source code. Ada code yields a model in the WinA&D Ada Design Environment.		Namespaces Java packages control name scope and group code files into folders. C# and VB also has namespaces. Namespaces for modeling, code generation and reengineering extend this concept to software design.		Explore Your Code Capture types, relationships, program comments and other design details from code into your project dictionary. That information is available for forward engineering or report generation.

Sample Diagrams Created From Code

These diagrams were created from code using MacTranslator or WinTranslator and displayed with MacA&D or WinA&D.

This structure chart displayed by WinA&D represents a compiler written in C.
This class model displayed by WinA&D represents the Java Foundation Classes (JFC).
This inheritance graph displayed by WinA&D represents exception classes in JFC.
This data model displayed by WinA&D was generated from a SQL script file.
These class diagrams are created from Ada with and without external packages.
These class diagrams are generated from Apple's Objective-C Cocoa Framework.
Here are more Objective-C Objective-C Examples.
These class diagrams were generated from a Wiki Program and CD Ripper Program and Airplane Simulation Program written in the C# programming language.
This class diagram and structure chart was generated from open source PHP code.

Capture Software Design from Source Code

This page shows a taste of what MacTranslator and WinTranslator can do. Import models into MacA&D or WinA&D.

Navigate between diagrams, present a dialog of class members and details for a selected object or click to see code presented in the integrated code browser.
