Analyzing Fitting Results
The Quartus II software offers several tools to help you analyze the results 
of compilation and fitting. The Messages window and Report window 
provide fitting results information. The Timing Closure floorplan and Chip 
Editor allow you to view fitting results and make adjustments, if necessary. 
In addition, the Design Assistant helps you check the reliability of a design 
based on a set of design rules.

Fitting Results
The Processing tab of the Messages window and the Messages section of the 
Report window or Report File display the messages generated from the most
