NAME
dotty - A Customizable Graph Editor
SYNOPSIS
dotty [ -V ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
dotty is a graph editor for the X Window System. It may be
run as a standalone editor, or as a front end for applica-
tions that use graphs. It can control multiple windows
viewing different graphs.
dotty is written on top of dot and lefty. lefty is a gen-
eral-purpose programmable editor for technical pictures. It
has an interpretive programming language similar to AWK and
C. The user interface and graph editing operations of dotty
are written as lefty functions. Programmer-defined graph
operations may be loaded as well. Graph layouts are made by
dot, which runs as a separate process that communicates with
lefty through pipes.
If the input graph contains xdot attributes, dotty will use
that to display the graph. Otherwise, it runs dot to obtain
layout information.
USAGE
The file name is optional. If present, the graph contained
in that file is displayed in the dotty window.
OPTIONS
-V Prints the version.
BUGS
The lefty parser does not accept anonymous graphs.
