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 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.

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.
