No. The closest we have to something like this is probably the stuff written by Mike Scott for the Wiki: http://www.vendian.org/parrot/wiki/bin/view.cgi/Main/ParrotDiagramsPMC (Well, that plus the comments in pobj.h, which are somewhat opaque.) If no-one else volunteers, I'll try to put together something like this, as we do need it, but I'm unlikely to have sufficient tuits until the end of May :-( Simon
