Exporting Xtext grammar and make a diagram

i was trying to make a readable file or image for people where show the grammar made in Xtext , i figure out how to export into XML but seem that XML file hasnt got my whole grammar inside . Is there any tool which generates a diagram with the XML file?

Solution

  • The Xtext Syntax Graph view should be helpful for you.

    You can open this view in Eclipse by clicking Window -> Show view -> Other... -> Xtext -> Xtext Syntax Graph. It will show a graphical representation of the Xtext grammar in the currently selected editor view.

    With the save-button the diagram can be exported as a PNG image file.
    There is also a blog post (with video demo) about this feature.
