- Add Latex Con-LSCs to LSC.tex.
- Execute the Latex2PlayGo compiler.
- Import the compiled file in PlayGo and execute it.

Latex Con-LSC
The Latex Con-LSC Language
Our group has developed a dedicated Latex package for easily creating diagrams with a simple textual notation, and presenting them graphically.
The package, called pgf-playgo-lsc, is built upon the pgf[1] and pgf-uml[2] packages.
Therefore the supported LSC idioms in Latex Con-LSC is only a subset of the PlayGo LSC idioms.
The complete list of the supported idoms in Latex Con-LSC is given in the Latex Con-LSC package.
