looks very good Gerald, thanks !

My first test was terrible: a file of 800kB was created,
Trying to view it, resulted in the following:
- Paint Shop Pro told me it was not a valid PNG file,
- Mozilla crashed after 5 minutes,
- GIMP gave me a preview after half an hour ;-)

So a few suggestions:
- is there a way to limit the number of nodes ?
- "pycallgraph." nodes are "non-information"
(maybe you can find another way to place your "signature" ;-)
- how do I exclude modules/files/objects (sorry I'm still a newbie in Python)

cheers,
