While reading over the already written parts (and hopefully complete the
paper), they were edited/corrected to be more clear.
|
|
Some edits were made after rereading of some parts.
|
|
With this commit, the general outline of the analysis phase is given, as
well as a description of the LaTeX macros and their relation to the paper
and thier verification.
Also, the data-lineage figure was updated to have references.tex also and
some resizing of the folders in file-architecture to be more clear.
|
|
In the last few days I have been writing these two sections in the middle
of other work. But I am making this commit because it has already become a
lot! I am now going onto the description of `./project make'.
|
|
Until now the file architecture plot at the directories ontop of the
top-level files. This made it hard to visually identify the top-level
files. They are not placed ontop of the sub-directories and some space is
added to highlight the files in the top-level directory and those in the
subdirectories.
Two other changes were made:
- The symbolic links created in the top source directory are also shown.
- The coding of this figure was made much more elegant by defining a
PGFPlots node class and just changing the things that are direrent
between each directory.
|
|
It was a little hard to describe the file structure so instead of using a
standard listing as most papers do, I thought of showing the file and
directory structure as boxes within each other (modeled on the Gnome
disk-utility).
Some other polishing was done throughout the paper also.
|
|
Until now, I was writing the paper without the template. But we will soon
be adding a tutorial to the template, and I thought it will be good to have
an example demonstration here too. So I just brought the hole project into
the template structure, allowing us to add the template analysis later when
its ready, and also allowing us to easily reproduce this paper ofcourse
(without having to worry about the host's TeXLive installation.
|
|
The unnecessary parts were removed and the project now runs.
|
|
Until now, the only verification that the template provided was the
published PDF. Users had to manually compare the published and generated
PDFs (numbers, plots, tables) and see if they obtained the same
result. However, this type of manual verification is not good and is prone
to frustration and missing important differences.
With this commit, a new Makefile has been added in the analysis steps:
`verify.mk'. It provides facilities to easily verify the results that go
into the paper. For example tables that go into making the paper's plots,
or the LaTeX macros that blend into the text. See the updated parts in
`README-hacking.md` for a more complete explanation.
This completes task #15497.

|
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.
|
|
Until now, we weren't explicitly asking for BibLaTeX to build the citations
with only initial of the author's given names. Therefore when one BibTeX
entry had a full given name and another had only initials, this would also
be reflected in the paper's bibliography.
With this commit, the `giveninits=true' option is given to BibLaTeX to
always only print the initial character of an author's given name.
|
|
In some cases, users of the template may not need the other template
headers, they may only want `preamble-biblatex.tex'. But `xcolor' needs to
be loaded before being able to load the various colors we use in the
references. So to be self-consistent, it is loaded.
Also, the default style was also printing the month of the publication
which is not common. So a line was added to clear the `month' field before
building the Bibliography.
|
|
Until now, the paper's title and author information were set it
`tex/src/preamble-header.tex'. But they are actually shown in the final PDF
paper and a much better place to keep them is the top-level `paper.tex'.
With this commit, the setting of the title and author names has been moved
to `paper.tex', just after importing all the preambles. However, the basic
package importation and low-level settings are still set in
`tex/src/preamble-header.tex', because they are relatively low-level.
This task was suggested by Deepak (Indian Institute of Astrophysics).
|
|
In the warnings output by LaTeX during the building of a project, I noticed
that `csquotes' is recommended for some features of BibLaTeX (a warning was
printed) so it is added with this commit.
|
|
Until now, the software building and analysis steps of the pipeline were
intertwined. However, these steps (of how to build a software, and how to
use it) are logically completely independent.
Therefore with this commit, the pipeline now has a new architecture
(particularly in the `reproduce' directory) to emphasize this distinction:
The `reproduce' directory now has the two `software' and `analysis'
subdirectories and the respective parts of the previous architecture have
been broken up between these two based on their function. There is also no
more `src' directory. The `config' directory for software and analysis is
now mixed with the language-specific directories.
Also, some of the software versions were also updated after some checks
with their webpages.
This new architecture will allow much more focused work on each part of the
pipeline (to install the software and to run them for an analysis).
|
|
All occurances of "pipeline" have been chanaged to "project" or "template"
withint the text (comments, READMEs, and comments) of the template. The
main template branch is now also named `template'.
This was all because `pipeline' is too generic and couldn't be
distinguished from the base, and customized project.
|
|
Until now we weren't including the citation for FFTW (one of the template's
optional packages). With this commit, it is added.
|
|
Until now, the files where the people were meant to change didn't have a
proper copyright notice (for example `Copyright (C) YOUR NAME.'). This was
wrong because the license does not convey copyright ownership. So the name
of the file's original author must always be included and when people
modify it (and add their own copyright-able modifications).
With this commit, the file's original author (and email) are added to the
copyright notice and when more than one person modified a file, both names
have their individual copyright notice.
Based on this, the description for adding a copyright notice in
`README-hacking.md' has also been modified.
|
|
Until now, there was a single `tex/src/references.tex' file that housed the
BibTex entries for everything (software and non-software).
Since we have started to include the BibTeX entry for more software, it
will be hard to manage the large (sometime unused) BibTeX entries of the
software in the middle of the non-software related citations in the text of
the paper.
Therefore, with this commit, a `tex/dependencies' directory has been made
which has a separate BibTeX entry file for each software that needs
one. After the software is built, this file is copied to the new
`.local/version-info/cite' directory. At the end, the configure script will
concatenate all the files in this directory into one file which will later
be used with `tex/src/references.tex' by BibLaTeX.
This greatly simplifies managing of citations. Allowing us to focus on the
software-building and paper-writing citations separately/cleanly (and thus
be more efficient in both).
|
|
Some recent corrections that were done by Raul are now merged into the
pipeline. There weren't any conflicts.
|
|
Until now, the Scipy citation was only one paper and not the correct one
(it was the online manual).
With this commit, Scipy is properly cited using the two papers. Also
some modifications in the `tex/src/references.tex' have been done
(remove last page number).
|
|
Until now, name and version of all Python packages were indicated in the
final paper, but not the main paper of them (if it exists).
With this commit, some Python packages (Cython, Matplotlib, Numpy and
Scipy) are now properly acknoledged by citating the source paper.
`mpi4py' is also cited although this package is not yet included into
the pipeline.
|
|
With this commit, we are applying the new style of citing software within
the build rule of Gnuastro.
|
|
After doing a systematic search for files without a copyright notice, a few
more were found that didn't have a notice. So a notice was added for them.
I used this Bash command to find the files:
for f in $(find ./ -type f); do \
if [[ $f != *.git* ]]; then \
n=$(grep -i copyright $f | wc -l); \
echo "$n $f"; \
fi; \
done | awk '$1==0'
|
|
In order to be more clear, a copyright statement was added to all the LaTeX
and README files.
|
|
Raul Infante-Sainz added the building of Python (along with the Numpy and
Astropy packages) into the pipeline. That work is now being merged into the
main pipeline branch.
There was only this small problem that needed to be fixed: the Python
tarball's name after unpacking is actually `Python-X.X.X' (with a captial
P), not `python-X.X.X'. This has been corrected with this merge.
|
|
Astropy was added and one very important thing is that we have to
use the pypi tarball (https://pypi.org/) (which is bootstrapped)
and not the github tarball.
|
|
In order to collaborate effectively in the project, even project members
that don't necessarily want (or have the capacity) to do the whole analysis
must be able to contribute to the project. Until now, the users of the
distributed tarball could only modify the text and not the figures (built
with PGFPlots) of the paper.
With this commit, the management of TeX source files in the pipeline was
slightly modified to allow this as cleanly as I could think of now! In
short, the hand-written TeX files are now kept in `tex/src' and for the
pipeline's generated TeX files (in particular the old `tex/pipeline.tex'),
we now have a `tex/pipeline' symbolic-link/directory that points to the
`tex' directory under the build directory.
When packaging the project, `tex/pipeline' will be a full directory with a
copy of all the necessary files. Therefore as far as LaTeX is concerned,
having a build-directory is no longer relevant. Many other small changes
were made to do this job cleanly which will just make this commit message
too long!
Also, the old `tarball' and `zip' targets are now `dist' and `dist-zip' (as
in the standard GNU Build system).
|
|
With this commit, it is now possible to package the project into a tarball
or zip file, ready to be distributed to collaborators who only want to
modify the final paper (and not do the analysis technicalities), or for
uploading to sites like arXiv, or online LaTeX sharing pages.
|
|
Until now, we were keeping the input file within the reproduction
pipeline's directories using the same name as the database/server. Now, we
are using a short/summarized filename convention for the input dataset.
|
|
In most analysis situations (except for simulations), an input dataset is
necessary, but that part of the pipeline was just left out and a general
`SURVEY' variable was set and never used. So with this commit, we actually
use a sample FITS file from the FITS standard webpage, show it (as well as
its histogram) and do some basic calculations on it.
This preparation of the input datasets is done in a generic way to enable
easy addition of more datasets if necessary.
|
|
Since the final product of the pipeline is a LaTeX-created PDF file, it was
necessary to also have LaTeX within the pipeline. With this commit, TeX
Live is also built as part of the configuration and all the necessary
packages to build the PDF are also installed and mentioned in the paper
along with their versions.
|
|
Some minor corrections have been made in the paper's text to make things
easier to read and be more formal.
|
|
All the used software are now acknowledged in the template paper along with
their versions. This section is also mentioned in the check list, so users
don't delete it by mistake.
|
|
Different implementations of AWK may use different random number
generators, so even setting the seed will not ensure a reproducible
result. Because of this, the random plot may be different when the
pipeline runs on different systems and this can confuse early users
(its contrary to the exact reproducibility that is the whole purpose
of this pipeline).
The plot is just a simple X^2 plot, showing the squared value of the X
axis on the Y axis. It is very simple, but atleast it will be
identical on all systems. Also, there may be too many complicated
things in the pipeline already for an early user, and its just a
demonstration, so the easier/simpler, the better.

The computer modern font that was designed by Donald Knuth and is the
default of LaTeX is indeed a very good, elegant and nice font in
print. However, most journals choose the roman fonts and thus the computer
modern font doesn't (subjectively) fit into the journal format nicely. So
the default font of this pipeline's paper now uses LaTeX's `newtx' package
for a roman style font.
Also, a set of preamble settings were added to allow headers in the pages
of the paper to make the result resemble more like a journal paper
(familiar to the eye), while also adding important information. A new
header was made for this job. This new header now also contains the title
and author settings (after all, these are also a type of header).
Finally, the LaTeX `authblk' package was used to organize authors and their
affiliations.
|
|
An abstract is also something most research reports will need, so a simple
macro was defined to make it easy (not too many code lines within the text
of the main body) to implement an abstract.
The title was also moved up a little to better use the extra white space at
the top of the page.
Finally, the `\highlightchanges' along with its explanation (both as
comments and within the text with examples) was added in `paper.tex' to
demonstrate how useful the `\new' and `\tonote' macros are.
|
|
Until now, we were using the `multicol' package which is mainly designed
for more than two columns. Instead, we are just passing a `twocolumn'
option to the article document class.
|
|
The comments in the preambles were made more clear and elaborate.
|
|
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 commit didn't have an explanation on correcting the title of the
project in the final PDF or the top-level Makefile, so a pointer was added
to the list. Also, some extra dependencies were removed from `README' and
its paragraphs were scaled to the new width of 75 characters that is
defined in `.dir-locals.el' (for Emacs settings, taken from Gnuastro).
|
|
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.
