Rails - Jul 2007 - Models relationship summary / Entity relationship diagram

Hi,

Does anyone know of a tool or script that can parse the contents of
the models folder and produce some sort of model relationship
document, either a text summary or graphical representation?

Thanks, Andrew.

I''ve found a solution but wanted to post the answer just in case it is
of interest to anyone else.

Check this link for a very concise looking script that outputs in
Graphviz DOT format.

That looks like it could come in handy.  Thanks for posting it.

I''ll throw my own gem into the pot here, I build on the ideas that  
Matt has to produce model_graph:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/model-graph/

IMHO, It does a much better job of depicting relationships.  (And I  
*know* that a legend would be helpful, it''s coming,... really!)

It also produces a DOT file that is best viewed with Graphviz, but  
can also be viewed with OmniGraffle (although the edge decorations  
aren''t nearly supported as well).
