What is doted?

Open DamienCassou opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

The documentation references "doted" as default view command. What is that? Where can I find it?

Could this be it? It seems to be rather obscure...

Maybe dotty is a better default for this, since it comes with the standard GraphViz installation. It is also documented on the GraphViz web site (see "Tool manual pages", https://graphviz.gitlab.io/documentation/)

It is of course easy to change the DOT view command, either through the customize interface or directly in your .emacs file:

(setq graphviz-dot-view-command "dotty %s")

dotty was deprecated years ago and last shipped with graphviz in 3.0.0.

Correct.

I prefer previewing inside emacs.

The new default viewer seems to be xdot.
