In response to a user selecting a subject object implemented in the dynamic language, a diagramming member forms and displays a class relationship diagram of the subject object The class relationship diagram visually illustrates relationships between the subject object and objects it inherits from and objects it contains as extracted from the inheritance chain of the subject object. UML or graph notation may be employed in the generated class relationship diagram.
