Abstract

We introduce a stepwise approach for computing symbolic diagrams. Such logical diagrams display formulas and connections between them and they are useful tools for visualizing connections between formulas as well as for reasoning about them. This incremental approach is modular: it starts from small diagrams and expands them. We explain the method and justify it. We also comment on the application of these ideas and illustrate them with some examples.
