DOTTY(1)                    General Commands Manual                   DOTTY(1)
NAME
       dotty - A Customizable Graph Editor
SYNOPSIS
       dotty [ -V ] [ -lmmode ] [ -ellev ] [ 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 applications that use  graphs.
       It can control multiple windows viewing different graphs.
       dotty  is  written on top of dot and lefty.  lefty is a general-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.  Pro-
       grammer-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.
       -lmmode
              Sets the layout mode. The mode can be sync or async. The default
              is async.
       -ellev Sets the mesage level. The lev can be 0 or 1. The default is 0.
BUGS
       The lefty parser does not accept anonymous graphs.
