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.
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.
