Making plots and including references are integral parts of a scientific
paper. Therefore to demonstrate how cleanly they can be used within the
pipeline, they are now used to produce the final PDF.
To use PGFPlots a random dataset is made (using AWK's random function) and
is plotted using PGFPlots. The minimum and maximum values of the dataset
are also included in the text to further show how such calculations can go
into the macros and text.
For the references, the NoiseChisel paper was added as a reference to cite
when using this pipeline along with the MUSE UDF paper I, which uses this
pipeline for two sections. Following this discussion, citation is also
discussed in `README.md` and the NoiseChisel paper is also added as a
published work with a reproduction pipeline.

Until now, the copyright statement was left empty for the users of the
pipeline to fill. However, the files have already been created and have an
author (or contributing authors) before the user starts using the
pipeline. So the original authors of the files are added along with the
year. The user can add their own name to the existing files under the
"Contributing author" when they start and they will be the "Original
author" of the new files they create.
Several changes were also made to the TeX management:
- LaTeX is run within a `reproduce/build/tex/build' directory now. Not in
the top reproduction pipeline directory. This helps keep all the
auxiliary TeX files and directories in that directory and keep the top
reproduction pipeline directory clean. After the final PDF is built, a
copy is put in the top reproduction pipeline directory for easy viewing.
- The PGFPlots preamble was also made more useful, allowing the name of
the `.tex' file to also be the name of the final plot that is
produced. This is a GREAT feature, because without it, the TiKZ
externalization would be based on order of the plots within the
paper. But now, order is irrelevant and we can even delete the TiKZ
files within the processing workhorse-Makefiles so the plots are
definitly rebuilt on the next run.
- The paper is now in a two-column format to be more similar to published
papers.
A tip on debugging Make was added to `README.md'.

The first comment of the top LaTeX source was confusing and is now fixed.

Let's start working on this pipeline independently with this first
commit. It is based on my previous experiences, but I had never made a
skeleton of a pipeline before, it was always within a working analysis.
But now that the pipeline has a separate repository for its self, we will
be able to work on it and use it as a base for future work and modify it to
make it even better. Hopefully in time (and with the help of others), it
will grow and become much more robust and useful.
