Looking for software that will analyze php code (i.e. all of wordpress or the thematic theme) and show me pretty pictures (perhaps a block diagram) of all the connections to help me more quickly get an understanding of where things are and what's connected to what.

Ideally, this software would run on a Mac, but I'll take anything: Windows, Linux, web-based, etc.
