Every now and then I want to depict graphically the structure of my
actual toy program in order to keep an overview. There exist several
relations between parts of programs (module import, object inheritance,
procedure call hierarchy and some more) and there exist large solutions:
UML, SysML and probably some more (which I don't know).

After a closer look at UML and SysML I began to doubt whether it is
worth to learn such a complicated system. After all I don't want it as a
base for a large software project with huge groups of developers, but
only for a survey of relatively small programs (10-20 modules) in an
advanced development state.

Any thoughts? What do you use?
