The latest documentation work is creating a full graph of the Axiom
algebra as part of the bookvol10* buildout. This could be useful in
guiding your work in building a CLOS version.
I have been watching your progress and bookvol10 is looking very good.
It should be fairly easy to write a lisp package which traverses the in-memory
algebra lattice in various ways and produces graphviz output. We could graph
the entier hierarchy, or just a "local view" of a domain and, say, its direct
supersignatures. Or a who-calls graph for a particular function, etc. This
would happen dynamically at runtime.
Look at <http://daly.axiom-developer.org/bookvol10.2.pdf> which is the
latest incarnation I'm testing.
The key innovation here is that I've figured out how to connect the
graphviz graph directly to the PDF files. So once I put up the next
version of the system you should be able to look at the graphviz category
graph, click on a box, and go directly to the page in the PDF. Try:
<http://daly.axiom-developer.org/bookvol10.2.pdf#nameddest=SETCAT>
or
<http://daly.axiom-developer.org/bookvol10.2.pdf#nameddest=SetCategory>
I've also figured out some more tricks to use Axiom to dynamically
generate information but I haven't had time to code them yet.
The literate documentation is getting more interesting.
