NAME
lneato - A Customizable Graph Editor
SYNOPSIS
lneato [ -V ] [ -lmmode ] [ -ellev ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
lneato 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.
lneato is written on top of neato and lefty. lefty is a general-purpose programmable editor for technical pictures. It has an interpre-
tive programming language similar to AWK and C. The user interface and graph editing operations of lneato are written as lefty functions.
Programmer-defined graph operations may be loaded as well. Graph layouts are made by neato, which runs as a separate process that communi-
cates with lefty through pipes.
If the input graph contains xdot attributes, lneato will use that to display the graph. Otherwise, it runs neato to obtain layout informa-
tion.
USAGE
The file name is optional. If present, the graph contained in that file is displayed in the lneato window.
OPTIONS
-V Prints the version.
-lmmode
Sets the layout mode. The mode can be sync or async. The default is async.
-ellev Sets the mesage level. The lev can be 0 or 1. The default is 0.
