The System Log tab

The System Log tab displays log information about what is happening "inside" AProVE. For the user, it is not important to understand in detail what this information means, but it might be important to discover bugs. If something appears to be running wrong, You may save the log to a text file (Menu Entry "log" -> "save as..") and send it to the AProVE team (see the contact page for details).

The Result tab

At the end of a performed proof, the Result tab displays the proof information in HTML format.

resultscreen

The current proof structure is shown in (1). Pressing ENTER or first mouse button on a structure node (obligation or proof) further detailed informations are displayed at (4) or (5). Clicking the result node a summary is displayed at (4). The current displayed node is marked(2)(3). Each node is deeply expandable with PLUS(+) or second mouse button. MINUS(-) collapses a node. MULTIPLE(*) or third mouse button expands only the paths of the same color for a result.

Also the full linear proof is shown in a extra window be selecting the function Result/View Full Proof in the menu. It scrolls automatically to the current selected proof(4). It is strongly recommanded to use this option only for small proofs (larger proofs should be exported and displayed with your favorite browser).

Clicking on the top node labelled "Results" yields a statistical summary which comes in especially handy when processing multiple files in batch mode.

The Export dialog

AProVE is able to generate proof information in HTML, LaTeX, and plain text format. To export proof results to a file, go to the menu "Result" and select "Export to..". This action will lead to the dialog displayed below:

export dialog

Please look here for details about the several output formats.
Depending on the desired export format, select one of the following options in the dialog:

PLAIN

In this case, AProVE will generate a simple text file containing the proof information.

HTML

Here, the generated output is similar to the proof information displayed in the Result tab.

PDF-LaTeX

Selecting this option will cause AProVE to generate a pdflatex file.

LaTeX (with dotty)

If You chose this option, a LaTeX file will be generated. You will need the dotty command from AT&T's graphviz package to compile these into postscript files.


Clicking on the button "Export to.." will open a dialog to determine a file. The generated output will be written to this file. Details to structure and layout of a proof are available here.

The proof options dialog

This dialog offers two main options. The first influences the verbosity of AProVE's proof scripts which are displayed both in the result tab and the full proof view. The second option deals with large batchmode proofs. If You do not like to display all proofs in detail, you can decide to generate only a small table instead which summarizes only the filenames and their successes.

Full Proof Viewer

Selecting this item will open a new window which will display the whole proof script. Besides local links in this window, there is less interaction in comparison to the result tab. However, it displays all available information in a flattened way. For more information on understanding the proof layout, please look here.
