I have an OO project in MATLAB and would like to automatically produce some documentation.
After some research I have found a convenient tool called mtoc++ which apparently produces a documentation using Doxygen (I have no experience with).
My only question is whether in order to use the tool I need to write comments in MATLAB using a specific format (language?) so that mtoc++/Doxygen could understand and document my comments?
If so, then what this format/ language is and where I can find its description?
After correctly installing and configuring mtoc++/Doxygen, the documentation is created automatically.
If you want to define personalized comments for specific custom parameters, you can follow the instructions on this page:
http://www.ians.uni-stuttgart.de/MoRePaS/software/mtocpp/docs/tools.html
Look under the heading Configuration options for the mtoc++ filter.
What you have to do is to edit the mtocpp.conf file, located in tools/config folder, and the format you'll be using is this:
add(params) = <parameter1_name> => """Your parameter1 description text in triple quotes""";
An example would be:
add(params) = myVariable => """This variable is defined by me""";
So you can define personalized comments for your Parameters, Fields, Extra Documentation and Global Settings.
I am sure there must be other workarounds to add comments and documentation.
I hope this helps. Happy coding.

I've just started using doxygen to document some legacy C code and I'm very impressed about what in can do even with un-marked up code. I've gotten the basics, annotating routines: brief, description, param, return, see, etc. That all appears (beautifully) in the generated documentation for the function. My question is: Can I put doxygen markup inside the routine, interspersed in the actual code, so comments that explain the "upcoming" section of code, can also be included in the documentation. Providing a stepwise overview of what the function does without having to copy those comments to the top of the routine?
I have a need to go through a set of DICOM files and modify certain tags to be current with the data maintained in the database of an external system. I am looking to use GDCM. I am new to GDCM. A search through stack overflow posts demonstrates that the anonymizer class can be used to change tag values.
Generating a simple CT DICOM image using GDCM
My question is if this is the best use of the GDCM API or if there is a better approach for changing the values of individual tags such as patient name or accession number. I am unfamiliar with all of the API options but have a link to the API documentation. It looks like the DataElement SetValue member could be used, but it doesn't appear that there is a valid constructor for doing this in the Value class. Any assistance would appreciated. This is my current approach:
Anonymizer anon = new Anonymizer();
anon.SetFile(myFile);
anon.Replace(new Tag(0x0010, 0x0010), "BUGS^BUNNY");
Quite late, but maybe it would be still useful. You have not mention if you write in C++ or C#, but I assume the latter, as you do not use pointers. Generally, your approach is correct (unless you use System.IO.File instead of gdcm.File). The value (second parameter of Replace function) has to be a plain string so no special constructor is needed. You should probably start with doxygen documentation of gdcm, and there is especially one complete example. It is in C++, but there should be no problems with translation.
There are two different ways to pad dicom tags:
Anonymizer
gdcm::Anonymizer anon;
anon.SetFile(file);
anon.Replace(gdcm::Tag(0x0002, 0x0013), "Implementation Version Name");
//Implementation Version Name
DatsElement
gdcm::Attribute<0x0018, 0x0088> ss;
ss.SetValue(10.0);
ds.Insert(ss.GetAsDataElement());
I'm developing a Modelica library and need to produce a document with source code listings. I'd like to be able to include the source of the Modelica models without annotations.
I could manually edit them out, but I'm looking for a more automated strategy. I'm guessing the most convenient and straightforward approach is to use some tool to save .mo files with no annotations and include those in my document (I'm using \lstinputlisting in LaTeX).
Is it possible to do this? I have access to Dymola, OpenModelica and JModelica. Dymola is obviously capable of producing such a listing, as it's able to include it in the automatically generated documentation (File > Export > HTML...). I've been looking into scripting with Dymola and OpenModelica, but haven't found a way to do this either.
JModelica seems like it could be a good option, but I don't have experience working with Python. If this is possible and someone gives me some pointers, I'm willing to look into it myself. I found a mention to a prettyprint function that might do the job, but I'm not sure where to start. I can't even find reference to that function in the latest documentation.
It would also be more convenient for me to find a way of doing it with Dymola/OpenModelica (whether through the UI or by using a script). Have I missed something?
I think you could use saveTotalModel("total.mo", MyModelName) in OpenModelica. This will strip most annotations (not ones used for code generation if I remember correctly) and pretty-print the source code including all dependencies. Then you just copy-paste the models/packages that you want to include in the listing. Or if you prefer, you can do something like the following to only include code for a particular model:
loadModel(Modelica);
loadFile("MyModel.mo");
saveTotalModel("total.mo", MyModel.A.B);
clear();
loadFile(MyModel);
str := list(MyModel.A.B);
writeFile("MyModel.A.B.listing", str);
I'm using Eclipse with the OcaIDE-Plugin to write my ocaml-project.
I have written several ocaml-functions that I want to document (comment, return values and params).
I've created my documentation in the .ml-files like described in this link: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/ocamldoc.html
Here is an example of one function:
(** sorting tuples where first element is key *)
let my_comp x y = (*Some code*)
Unfortunately, my comments don't show up, when I press F2 at one of the functions, it only shows the name and the file it is contained.
When writing comments in an mli-file, it works as expected, but i also want to document "private" functions that are not accessible from the outside. Can I define functions in the mli, that are NOT accessible from the outside, just for the documentation?
How can I make Eclipse to show my documention?
Well, as you said, you would like to show the documentation but not export the function out of the module. That, sadly, won't work.
I guess OcaIDE can be considered as incomplete but it doesn't look like it's something people care about (I don't know a single person working on OcaIDE). If you like having autocompletion etc, maybe try to program with emacs and install merlin (look, I found the perfect post for you : here)
As for the suggestion of defining a function in the mli not accessible from the outside, it's completely opposed to why mli files are created, so don't expect that to be possible. ;-)
I hoped I've been able to help you.
I'm new to CoffeeScript and seems that I can't find any document generator for CoffeeScript using Javadoc syntax. The only one I could find is available as a patch to the CoffeeScript compiler.
So, what do you use to generate documentation from Javadoc comment on CoffeeScript or how do you document your function arguments and return values?
So, JavaDoc syntax has never really caught on with JavaScript developers. There are those who use something like it—notably Google—but it's kind of at odds with JS, which doesn't have static typing and allows any number of arguments to any function.
If you want to create beautiful documentation with CoffeeScript, the standard is Docco (its home page is an excellent example). If you want to create JavaDoc-style comments for every function... well, you'll have to create them by hand, and escape them with backticks.
Alternatively, you could work in CoffeeScript until your code is release-ready, then document the resulting JavaScript.
Docco is great for prozedural coding style. If you want to document an API, coffeedoc is for you.
People looking forward to using javadoc style documentation in coffeescript can checkout codo ( http://netzpirat.github.com/codo/ ) which provides support for a subset of javadoc and automatically infers class names, function names and parameters from source code.
I'm using YUIDoc. I can add comments using a syntax similar to Javadoc to my classes, methods and events. The documentation gets output as html/css files and you can even customize the page layout.
Check this documentation example: http://yui.github.com/yuidoc/api/
PS: It relies on Node.JS and you need to install the package yuidocjs
npm install yuidocjs -g
