NAME
hat-anim - animate the reduction of an expression
SYNOPSIS
hat-anim
prog[.hat] num
DESCRIPTION
hat-anim
is an interactive tool for exploring the forward reduction of a given
Haskell program
prog
supplied as its first argument. The second argument
num
is an index into the Hat trace file, telling it where to begin.
Since you are unlikely to find a good starting point by guessing a
random number, we recommend you start hat-anim from within one of
the other hat tools, first choosing the relevant expression, then
issuing the :anim command.
Exploration proceeds
forwards,
starting with the given expression, and at each step (press the space bar)
it shows the next reduction.
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
The following multi-letter commands are available. They each begin
with a colon, bringing a visible command-line to the bottom of the
screen. A command can be abbreviated to its shortest non-ambiguous
prefix.
- :quit
-
Exit the interactive tool.
- :help [cmd]
-
Shows help text giving an overview of the commands available, or if a
command name
cmd
is given, shows more detailed help about that command.
- :set [flag]
-
With no argument, shows all current mode settings. Given an argument,
it changes that mode and reports the new setting. The flag argument
is one of:
- uneval [on|off]
-
show unevaluated expressions in full (default off)
- strSugar [on|off]
-
sugar character strings (default on)
- listSugar [on|off]
-
sugar lists (default on)
- qualified [on|off]
-
show all identifiers qualified (default off)
- equations [on|off]
-
show rhs of equations (default off)
- srcrefs [on|off]
-
show source reference of currently selected expression in the top bar
(default on)
- cutoff n
-
cut-off depth for deeply nested exprs (default 10)
- :+[n]
-
Short-cut to increase the cutoff depth by <n> (default 1)
- :-[n]
-
Short-cut to decrease the cutoff depth by <n> (default 1)
- :source
-
Shows (in a separate window) the source code for the application usage
currently highlighted.
- :Source
-
Shows (in a separate window) the source code for the function
definition currently highlighted.
- :detect
-
Start the hat-detect browser in a new window, beginning with the currently
selected expression.
- :trail
-
Start another hat-trail browser in a new window, beginning with the currently
selected expression.
- :observe [query]
-
With no argument, an interactive hat-observe window is started with the
function part of the currently selected expression used as the initial
query. Given a query argument, the new window starts with a search
for the given expression pattern before giving an interactive prompt.
- :resize
-
After resizing a window, use this command to inform the tool to detect
the change in size, so that pretty-printing can fit the screen.
