#+DESCRIPTION: Directory of code examples for using Spot in C++17, Python, and shell.
#+INCLUDE: setup.org
#+HTML_LINK_UP: index.html


This section contains code examples for using Spot.  This is a work in
progress.  Feel free to [[mailto:spot@lrde.epita.fr][send]] suggestions of small tasks you would like
to see illustrated here.

If you have difficulties compiling the C++ examples, check out [[file:compile.org][these
instructions]].

Reading the [[file:concepts.org][concepts page]] might help if you are not familiar with some
of the objects or concepts used here.

* Examples with Shell, Python, and C++

All the following pages show how to perform the same task using the
three interfaces supported by Spot: shell commands, Python, or C++.

- [[file:tut01.org][Parsing and Printing LTL Formulas]]
- [[file:tut02.org][Relabeling Formulas]]
- [[file:tut04.org][Testing the equivalence of two LTL formulas]]

* Examples in C++ only

- [[file:tut51.org][Implementing an on-the-fly Kripke structure]]

* Examples in Python only

In directory =python/tests=, the [[file:install.org][Spot tarball]] contains a small
collection of IPython notebooks.  As the name of the directory implies,
these are part of the test suite for the Python bindings, however they
can be interesting to look at if you want to see more code examples.

For convenience, the following links offer static HTML renderings of
these notebooks, but we strongly suggest interactively evaluating the
real notebooks instead.
