Writing a report

  1. Change directory to the parent directory
    bash$ cd ..
    
    This should be the directory which contains paper.tex.
  2. Run
    bash$ sftour scons lock
    
    The sftour command visits all subdirectories and runs scons lock, which copies result files to a different location so that they will not get modified until further notice.
  3. You can also run
    bash$ sftour scons -c
    
    to clean intermediate results.
  4. Edit the file paper.tex to include your additional results. If you have not used LATEX before, no worries. LATEX is a descriptive language. Study the file, and it should become evident by example how to include figures.
  5. Run
    bash$ scons read
    
    to generate a PDF report paper.pdf and open it with a PDF viewing program.
  6. Want to submit your paper to Geophysics? Edit SConstruct in the paper directory to add options=manuscript to the End statement. Then run
    bash$ scons read
    
    again.
  7. If you have LATEX2HTML installed, you can also generate an HTML version of your paper by running
    bash$ scons html
    
    and opening paper_html/index.html in a web browser.
