Ptolemy II Tutorial

Using Ptolemy II

The easiest way to learn how to use Ptolemy II is to download and install Ptolemy II and then read volume I, Chapter 2 of the Ptolemy II Design Document.

We've made just Volume I, Chapter 2 available as a separate document:

  • Edward A. Lee and Stephen Neuendorffer, "Tutorial: Building Ptolemy II Models Graphically," EECS Department, University of California, Berkeley, Technical Report No. UCB/EECS-2007-129, October 31, 2007
  • Note that the design document, including the above chapter, is also part of the download and Windows installer.
