Automated Class Diagrams

SmartDraw's Class Diagram Extension allows you to create a visual of your classes and their properties automatically by pointing it at a code repository. You can create a diagram using any local code file or a remote repository on Github.

The class diagram extension will work with C#, C, Java, JavaScript, Ruby and Python.
