I love this diagram. Is there a tool that generates such things? Or is there a name for this style of diagram that I could search for?
My prime use would be generating diagrams of function call chains in large Python code bases.
i am also interested in this.
i found vijual[1] and mermaid-ascii[2] are good starting projects.

How about pycallgraph that can be exported to Graphviz?
FWIW it is called evolutionary or lineage (or hierarchical lineage) diagram I believe.
