Creates a message graph.

mix blueprint.plot.msg [APP] [--colour] [[--lib LIB | --path PATH] ...] [--servers FILE] [-o PATH]

An APP name is provided if the message graph should be limited to the given application. Otherwise it will be for the entire blueprint (libraries tracked).

A --colour option can be used to generate a coloured graph.

A -o option can be used to specify the file to be written.

As many --lib or --path options can be provided to add additional libraries to the blueprint. If none are provided, the blueprint will default to using the libraries found in the project’s build directory.

A --servers option can be used to specify the file to be used for custom server matching expressions. For more information see Blueprint.Application.Module. However this file is expected to be elixir, rather than a string.

## Examples

Generate a graph for the current project:

mix blueprint.plot.msg

Generate a graph for the current project’s example application:

mix blueprint.plot.msg example

Generate a graph for the provided libraries:

mix blueprint.plot.msg --lib example1 --lib example2 --path /example

Generate a graph of mnesia from the standard erlang runtime:

mix blueprint.plot.msg --path $(elixir -e 'IO.puts :code.lib_dir') mnesia
