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 L^ATEX before, no worries. L^ATEX 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 L^ATEX2HTML 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.
