VIMDOT(1) General Commands Manual VIMDOT(1)

vimdot - Combined text editor and dot viewer

vimdot [file]

vimdot is a simple script which launches the gvim or vim editor along with a GUI window showing the dot output of the edited file. The dot output window automatically refreshes every time the file is saved in the editor.

If no filename is given, vimdot will use 'noname.gv' and initialize it with an example graph to get you started.

The GUI window (provided by "dot -Txlib") supports zooming using the mouse scroll-wheel, and panning by holding the scroll-wheel down and dragging.
