SYNOPSIS

9       lneato [ -V ] [ -lmmode ] [ -ellev ] [ file ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lneato  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       lneato  is  written on top of neato and lefty.  lefty is a general-pur‐
17       pose programmable editor for technical pictures.  It has  an  interpre‐
18       tive programming language similar to AWK and C.  The user interface and
19       graph editing operations of lneato  are  written  as  lefty  functions.
20       Programmer-defined  graph operations may be loaded as well.  Graph lay‐
21       outs are made by neato, which runs as a separate process that  communi‐
22       cates with lefty through pipes.
23
24       If  the  input  graph contains xdot attributes, lneato will use that to
25       display the graph. Otherwise, it runs neato to obtain  layout  informa‐
26       tion.
