Django - Model graphic representation (ERD) [closed]

I'm searching a way to represent my Django project model graphically.

Is there a "native" way to do this kind of ERD (diagram) ?


Update following @Etienne instructions

Here is an example of how I finally view the PDF representing some models of my django project

$ python manage.py graph_models app1 app2 ... | dot -Tpdf | evince
  • It actually generates the dot data with my applications (app1, app2, ...)
  • Passes the result to dot to output into PDF format
  • Opens the output with evince

If you want to extract UML diagram from your Django models you can use the Graph models command of django-extensions. Another one that do mostly the same thing: django-graphviz.

If you want to create your Django models from UML: uml-to-django.

And to create UML diagrams, there's Dia, yED and ArgoUML

You can check also this list of tools.

Best I can think of is Argo UML which requires you to design by hand (and then you can convert the UML into Django with this tool)

If you want to do django - uml conversion (the other way) try looking at Django To UML
