# install ruby-graphviz then install graphviz from

require 'graphviz' # gem install ruby-graphviz --no-document

# get all constants in namespace
# then convert them from symbols

# the classes out of them, 
# you may include modules if you wish
classes = Class.constants
                      .map { |c| Class.const_get c }
                      .select { |c| c.is_a? Class }
g = GraphViz.new( :G, :type => :digraph )

# Create nodes
