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.

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.
