- To generate the documentation locally on your
- machine from the <acronym>deal.II</acronym> header files, you need
- <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/" target="_top">doxygen</a>
- on your machine. If not, you can still work with the library and
- use the documentation provided on our homepage for reference.
- In order to generate inheritance graphs for classes, doxygen
- can use the <code>dot</code> program, which is part of the
- <a href="http://www.graphviz.org" target="_top">GraphViz</a>
- package. If this program is not available, then doxygen attempts to
- generate text-mode graphs; these are much less nice, though.

- In case you didn't find your favorite graphics format above, adding a new
- writer to <acronym>deal.II</acronym> is not too difficult as only a
- simple
- intermediate format needs to be
- converted into output (without references to cells,
- nodes, types of finite elements, and the like).
