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