+
+;; Org-Babel support for evaluating dot source code.
+;;
+;; For information on dot see http://www.graphviz.org/
+;;
+;; This differs from most standard languages in that
+;;
+;; 1) there is no such thing as a "session" in dot
+;;
+;; 2) we are generally only going to return results of type "file"
+;;
+;; 3) we are adding the "file" and "cmdline" header arguments
+;;
+;; 4) there are no variables (at least for now)
+
+;;; Code:
+(require 'org-babel)
+
+(org-babel-add-interpreter "dot")
+
+(add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-langs '("dot" "dot"))
+
+(defvar org-babel-default-header-args:dot '((:results . "file") (:exports . "results"))
+  "Default arguments to use when evaluating a dot source block.")
+
+(defun org-babel-execute:dot (body params)
+  "Execute a block of Dot code with org-babel.  This function is
+called by `org-babel-execute-src-block'."
+  (message "executing Dot source code block")
+  (let ((result-params (split-string (or (cdr (assoc :results params)) "")))
+        (out-file (cdr (assoc :file params)))
+        (cmdline (cdr (assoc :cmdline params)))
+        (in-file (make-temp-file "org-babel-dot")))
+    (with-temp-file in-file (insert body))
+    (message (concat "dot " in-file " " cmdline " -o " out-file))
+    (shell-command (concat "dot " in-file " " cmdline " -o " out-file))
+    out-file))
+
+(defun org-babel-prep-session:dot (session params)
+  (error "Dot does not support sessions"))
+
+(provide 'org-babel-dot)
