Analysis for Flowchart Options

Source Flowchart Generator Options

Displaying all program comment characters within Flowchart blocks often does not give suitable results. Many comments contain characters the only purpose of which is to emphasize the visual differences of comments in relation to the rest of the program code. It is possible to adjust DA-C so that it ignores such characters and displays only useful text in Flowchart blocks.

Code analysis parameters pertaining to Flowchart can be set in the Options > Flowchart Generator dialog:

Always

Code comments are not displayed in Flowchart blocks, i.e. they are ignored.

In and after statement

Comments within and behind a statement are ignored.

After compound statement

Comments behind a compound statement (block) are ignored.

Never

No comment is ignored.

Filter (ignore) characters

The characters entered are ignored in the comment text.

Ignore comments with prefix and Except those with prefix

Comments beginning (immediately after /* or //) with the Ignore prefix, but not with Exception are ignored, that is, are not displayed in Flowchart blocks. You can enter up to five prefixes and exceptions separated by ';' (semicolon, it's not allowed in the prefix). Example: Ignore prefixes "ign1;ign2;ign3" and Exception prefixes "exc1;;exc3" means that "ign2" has no Exception prefix.

Collapse blocks with prefix

Blocks whose comments begin with the string entered are, when visible, initially collapsed.

Expand blocks with prefix

Blocks whose comments begin with the string entered are, when visible, initially expanded.

Merge linear segments of code separated by empty lines

If checked, linear segments of code separated by empty lines are merged.
