The Working Area
Finite Automata Simulation
Automata are displayed in the working area.
Nodes are shaped as circles of different colours:
red if it denotes an initial node,
blue if it is a standard nodes, this node is the default one,
with a double circle if it denotes a final node.
red and with double circle if it is both an initial and final node.
The label on each node indicates the state symbol.
Arcs are represented by lines connecting two nodes:
; the input symbol that activates the transition is the arc label.
Arcs connecting a node with itself (loop connection) will appear as a circle starting and ending from the node:
.
PushDown Automata Simulation
When the PushDown Automata simulator module is active, on the lines representing arcs we have also the stack symbol:

@
is the empty stack symbol.
