Abstract
Inheritance contributions of programming class functions and class variables are diagrammed. A functional diagram illustrates individual class contributions of functions. A variable composition diagram illustrates individual class contributions of variables. A diagrammatic depiction of functions overridden and functions contributed in the inheritance hierarchy is provided. Functions which are unique, overridden and/or have contributions in different classes of the hierarchy are visually distinguished (e.g., by distinguishing marks). Classes in the hierarchy are graphically depicted with relative sizes based on percent contribution.
