class diagram generator:

<dt>-output</dt><dd>Specify the output file (default <code>graph.dot</code>).

a full path is accepted as well.
If the output directory is provided, -output can only specify a file name,
otherwise a full path is accepted as well.
If the filename specified is a dash, then the results are printed on the
standard output, and can be directly piped into <em>dot</em>.
Note that, in order to avoid <em>javadoc</em> messages to contaminate
UMLGraph's output, you must execute UMLGraph directly as a jar,
not through <em>javadoc</em>.
