Hi Team,

I generated my own Xtext grammar. For documentation purposes, I'd like to automatically create a kind of diagramm or picture that shows the AST or maybe the EMF-Meta model that is generated by Xtext.

Has somebody an Idea, wheater this is possible?
I know, that there are ways to have a graphical editor, that generates the corresponding textual model, but I need it the other way around.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The generated metamodel resides in the src-gen folder of your runtime
project. You can visualize it with any Ecore diagram editor, e.g. from
the Ecore Tools project.

There is also the Xtext Syntax Graph (Show View->Other->Xtext->) that
visualizes the syntax in a railroad diagram.
