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.
       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.

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.
