DESCRIPTION

12       dotty  is  a  graph editor for the X Window System.  It may be run as a
13       standalone editor, or as a front end for applications that use  graphs.
14       It can control multiple windows viewing different graphs.
15
16       dotty  is  written on top of dot and lefty.  lefty is a general-purpose
17       programmable editor for technical pictures.   It  has  an  interpretive
18       programming  language  similar  to  AWK  and C.  The user interface and
19       graph editing operations of dotty are written as lefty functions.  Pro‐
20       grammer-defined  graph operations may be loaded as well.  Graph layouts
21       are made by dot, which runs as a  separate  process  that  communicates
22       with lefty through pipes.
