README

        
## Prerequisites ##

*   Complete TeX installation (tested with TeXLive 2014).

    Note: TeXLive 2013 does *not* work (bug in TOC font).

*   latexmk, dvipng (should be part of your TeX distribution)

*   Perl (tested with v5.16.2)

*   Python 2.7, with scientific stack (IPython, numpy, scipy, sympy, matplotib;

    see Makefile for details)

    Using a Python distribution such as Enthought Canopy or Anaconda is strongly

    recommended.

*   Ghostscript 7.07 or later

*   Grace 5.1.22.

    Your version of grace must have support for generating PDF files. If it

    doesn't, you can try to modify the rule in `chapters/figures.mk` to get PDF

    files via EPS

A virtual Python environment will be created in the `venv` subfolder, containing

the above packages, as well as some of the additional Python packages from the

`scripts` folder that are necessary for generating the figures.

## Compilation ##

Run `make` to compile all figures from source, and to compile

`diss.pdf` from all `tex` files.

`make clean` removes all temporary files, but leaves `diss.pdf` and any

generated figures, as well as the `venv` subdirectory intact.

`make distclean` restores to a clean checkout. It deletes all generated figures,

and the `venv` subfolder.

Note that once all figures have been generated, `diss.pdf` can be compiled with

minimal dependencies (i.e. only a simple TeX installation). Running `make dist`

will create a copy of the minimal files (`tex` files, `template`, and `figures`

folder) to the `dist` subfolder, for archival purposes.
