Doxygen

Doxygen is a documentation system that also extracts information from the source files directly.

Daily generated docs for the development and stable branches can be found on docs.paparazziuav.org.

Generating Doxygen Code Documentation yourself

A way to look at the includes and dependencies is to use the graphs generated with doxygen. After installing Paparazzi, install Doxygen:

For Ubuntu precise a backport of doxygen_1.8.4 is available in the ppa:flixr/backports:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flixr/backports
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz

run the documentation generation from the paparazzi/ directory (will generate module descriptions and run doxygen):

make dox

Prior to paparazzi_version v5.1_devel-234-gb1eb25e run doxygen manually from the paparazzi/ directory:

doxygen

Now Doxygen will have generated html documentation (open this with any web browser) in your paparazzi/docs/generated/html folder.

The main documentation page is:

paparazzi/doc/generated/html/index.html

This is a sample of a Doxygen Graph:

Doxygen Style

The Paparazzi Doxygen style guide is of course written in doxygen as well ;-)

Please document the code using doxygen comments instead of normal comments where appropriate.

See the Doxygen Manual for more details.
