First choose the type of tableau using the radio buttons.
Next, obtain a tableau via the Domino Robinson-Schensted algorithm, either randomly or by entering a parameter.
To obtain a randomly-generated tableau, simply enter the size in the textbox labelled "n".
Then, click the Run button to the right of that box, or press Enter.
Instead, you can enter a signed permutation (for example, 2 -5 3 6 -4 1) in the second textbox.
To do that, list the numbers of the signed permutation, separated by spaces.
Then, click the Run button to the right of that box, or press Enter.
The purpose of this page is to get a quick overview of what open cycles look like.
Each open cycle has a back square, marked in green, and a forward square, marked in purple.
If you hover your mouse over one of those squares, the cycle attached to that square will be highlighted.
You can use one of the animation cycle pages to see the process of moving the tableau through a cycle.
Pressing a button a second time, or a different button, will clear the previous result as it gives you a new result, as will pressing Enter while in a textbox.
