brian d foy recently released a text density widget that I thought was pretty neat. After hacking out my own, I wondered if it would be possible to make one that would give a graphical representation of syntactically interesting things, rather than just text density.

After finding -- and abusing -- the delightful Syntax-Highlight-Perl, I have created just such a thing. I decided to copy the source code for S::H::P into a new project and bend it to my whims rather than subclassing it because the changes I made were so specific to this particular idea. I tried to stick with the same color scheme ,blue for unimportant things up to red for more important, but it can stand to be tinkered with.

usage : $0 perlfile pngfile
update fixed code... update well, heck. I've apparently run up against some sort of character limit in perlmonks. I'll post a link to the code when I get home from work. Sorry, folks. Nothing to see here right now.


In reply to graphing your perl scripts (after brian d foy) by boo_radley

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
