It is rather ironic and perhaps insulting that you would think the
knowledge which is the basis for this discussion comes naturally by
birth.

Unfortunately, all these references to the graphics all point to
[URL]http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/[/URL]. The web page is
overwhelming and talks about generating graphic. None of this is really
needed. What is missing in rdoc documentation is a simple directive to
include an in-line image - perhaps something like:
+-----------------------------+
| # [IMG:URL]                 |
| #     or                    |
| # [IMG:file://image.png]    |
+-----------------------------+
Indeed, at one point it would be nice to generate area-clickable image
(diagram) that could be used in rdoc output. But without being able to
place in an inactive - still image, all the reading of tones of
theoretical possibilities, that at the end may not even do what one
wishes, is an unnecessary  waste of time. The "smart" or more to the
point annoying answers like yours, Tom, certainly do not help. I already
forgot all the stuff I read and tried when I needed this feature in
rdoc, so much so that I decided to include the missing rdoc feature
myself.

The bottom line is that as a user having a long and considerable
experience with rdoc I still can not put a diagram into my documentation
produced with rdoc, without the additional under the hood meddling, and
forgive me if I find comments like yours rather inappropriate.
