vplot2eps

July 28, 2006 Programs No comments

By popular demand, vplot2eps is now a separate script.

bash$ vplot2eps 
Usage: $RSFROOT/bin/vplot2eps [options] file.vpl [file.eps] 

Converts vplot to encapsulated postscript. 
[options] are passed to pspen.

Tips:

  • To convert EPS to PDF, use epstopdf.
  • To convert EPS to PNG or GIF, use pstoimg (supplied with latex2html) as follows:
bash$ PAPERSIZE=ledger pstoimg file.eps -out file.png [-type png -interlaced -antialias -crop a ...]
  • You can also try vplot2gif, which is capable of generating animated GIFs (requires additional programs).
  • pstoedit can convert EPS to other vector formats.

Beardsley’s principles

July 15, 2006 Systems No comments

Reginald Beardsley formulates seven design principles for a modern seismic processing system:

A modern production seismic processing system must satisfy several conflicting goals:

  • It must make efficient use of an ever changing, heterogeneous computing enviroment.
  • It must be easy to locate the appropriate modules from a large number of choices.
  • It must be easy to modify and test existing modules or write new ones without adversely impacting other users.
  • It must be impossible to run the system with invalid or incomplete input and easy to identify the parameters required by a module, what allowable values are and the significance of the parameter.
  • It must be possible to reproduce within roundoff error all operations on any data, at any time, even years later.
  • Unwanted or unexpected interactions between system components must not take place.
  • It must be possible to construct the system with limited resources.
