How to create a navigation tree in doxygen?

Question

If you used javadoc and then came to doxygen, you may know what I mean when I say that I missed the hierarchical (frame-based) representation, which easily passed from class to class and method. (For those who have not seen this, imagine a tree navigator in the IDE or above the file system).

How can I get Doxygen to turn on the navigation tree if possible?

And in October a similar question was asked , but it was just about alternatives to styles and only one appeared. I think I'm looking for something more important.

Answer 1

Note that all you need to do to get the tree on the left in the Quinn example sets GENERATE_TREEVIEW to YES in the configuration file.

Answer 2

At a basic level, Doxygen's output is what it is, and I don’t think there is a “better way” to view static HTML content. I think you want Doxygen to create HTML output that looks more like Javadoc, which has both pros and cons. (The biggest drawback is that this is unlikely to happen due to the efforts and wide user base.)

I manage a project that is documented using Doxygen , and I'm not sure to what extent my configuration uses Doxygen defaults, but I get sections in the left frame for a flat list of classes and a class hierarchy. Also, since I have charts, a graph class hierarchy is a pretty quick way to go where I want. I did not get to Doxygen modules, so I have no experience in whether things can be segmented similar to how Javadoc does with packages.
