POC has a -browser option that generates browser info.

See http://users.pandora.be/stes/compiler.html

Many of the classes in POC also respond to a message called -st80.

The -st80 messages were for some tests with semi-automatically converting
code from Objective-C to ST (Smalltalk).

It's not so easy, it's not complete, but it may give some ideas.

Autograf will do this nicely. And it's free. Or else use Doxygen, and
have it generate class diagrams.

Under OS X AFAIR also OmniGraffle had some nice capabilities for the
purpose.

Cool. If anybody is wondering about the exact process (it took me a bit of
searching to find), you can just drag a .pbproj file onto OmniGraffle and
you get a nice diagram of all of your classes. It didn't work with a
..xcode file, probably because my copy of OmniGraffle is kind of old, but
it worked if I renamed it to .pbproj. It also works with frameworks, so
you can generate diagrams of the Cocoa frameworks too. Thanks for the tip!

Those diagrams are nice, but you can get a whole lot more information
from Doxygen or Autograf. With Doxygen you get class diagrams, as in
OmniGraffle. You also optionally get collaboration diagrams for
classes, and even call graphs for individual methods. The diagrams are
all hyperlinked, too. I wouldn't give up my copy of OmniGraffle, but
for getting info on Obj-C code I'd stick with Doxygen. It's free at
, and has a Mac OS X binary
download.

Autograf does collaboration diagrams, but seems less stable. Often it
simply does nothing at all. I've never had Doxygen fail, though.

Would you have some other place to download it ?
www.doxygen.org is also not accessible.

One thing I should have mentioned-- if you use the GUI setup tool, don't
use the "wizard" option except for a quick test-run. I found that
settings there sometimes seemed to get lost. The expert option has
always worked for me, though.

It must have been a temporary glitch; it seems to be up now.
