Hi everyone,
I was curious to see if there was an easier way to go through DFHack/df-structures rather than searching the xml files. I read a couple of posts from others wanting to find ways to navigate them easier but didn't come across anything I was really looking for.
Anyway, I was able to get a small hacky script to look at some of the things I was curious about. I wanted to share some things in case anyone else is interested or maybe has better ways of doing this.
I'm sharing a few of the images I created in case they might be useful or if they might help with other ideas.
Please make sure use the zoom in button. Also if anyone knows a better way to host svgs it will be appreciated.
This is a preview of df.global.world.units its not as sexy as the SVGs
The following were made with two different lua scripts for interacting with graphviz.
The first was made using lua-graphviz and some custom coding. lua-graphviz is available here:

However, it sometimes results in very large files and data that might be too extensive for modding. Also, I couldn't find an easy way to recurse the tables. Microscope is available here:

Feel free to hit me up, if you want more information about this.
Also, I might have an error in my code, so some items might be missing or referenced weird.
