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  interpretive  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 communicates 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 information.

USAGE

       The  file  name  is  optional.  If  present,  the graph contained in that file is displayed in the lneato
       window.
