[Tinyos-help] nesdoc component graphs

[Darren BISHOP]

Thanks for your response David.

I have read up enough on the dot language (which wasn't much) to know it 
probably just takes describing the style of nodes differently, possibly 
to reflect that the 'unit' is an interface, configuration or module.

I/we are using tinyos-1.x; is it the same version of nesdoc that is 
used? If so, would you know where in the Python code the dot generation 
and rendering takes place?
