= Daily Progress Reports for the 625 Latex Project =
== Week 9 ==
=== 10/26 ===
 * Met with Jim and Steve to discuss assignment changes
 * Established 625 progress report page

=== 10/28 ===
== Week 10 ==
=== 11/1 625 ===
 * Till c2_4

=== 11/4 ===
 . Till c2_7. Figures for c2_8 and c2_9 have been transformed to png files

== Week 11 ==
11/8 The left of ch2; meeting

11/9: Modify. Only changing htb to tb does not remove the large figures to the right place.

11/11 Modification. I don't know why [tb]s still don't work; only [tbp]s work finally.

== Week 12 ==
Modification and Ch3

== Week 13 ==
11/22 Finish Ch3 and all the png figures for Ch4.

11/22 Problems in Ch3 are put in the Instruction folder. Continue on Ch4.

The main file I'm working on is "AAAOpticsRootBook2010modified".

== Week 14 ==
11/29 Finish Ch4. Problems in Ch4 are listed in the instructional folder.

 . Figures for Ch5.

11/30 Figures in Ch5. Problems are listed.

12/2 Till c5_2. Problems are listed.

== Week 15 ==
12/6 Modification from Ch1 to Ch5.

12/7 Modification finished, except the scale factor. I want to do that finally, since there might by larger figures in later chapters.

 . For the figure-caption rotations, I did not find any other better ways; so I just used "sidewaysfigure". Till c5_4. For 5_4_9, I just copied the separate figures and pasted them; then erased the uncovered parts, and did the "chose-copy-paste as new image" again.

12/9 c5_5 is done except the captions and extra empty pages.

         I rotated Fig. 5_5_22, because it's easier to look at it in this way. But now it does not show at all.

         Fig. 5_5_20 is too wide.

Project officially taken over by Tim. Started by accessing AFS-space, examining what has been created so far, and beginning conversion. Need to start on figures 6.5 for conversion; will proceed to .tif -> .png -> .pdf conversion as soon as possible 

Suggestion: If the graphics are simple line drawings then here's a bash script to convert a directory of them to native PDF:
{{{
for img in $(ls *.tif)
do
    convert $img ${img%.tif}.pbm
    potrace -a 0.2 -n -b pdf -o ${img%.tif}.pdf ${img%.tif}.pbm
    rm ${img%.tif}.pbm
done
}}}
See if the resulting PDFs are acceptable. The advantage is that you can resize the PDF as much as you want because it is now vector graphics.  You'll need [[http://potrace.sourceforge.net/|potrace]] and [[http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php|ImageMagick]].

Began by going through document; checking for errors.

 * Page 6; Extra "This page is not used" comment found on page with text  
 * Page 15, 16, 18: "Fig. ??" error located; seems to be reoccurring throughout text, need to check over code  
 * Diagrams end around Chapter 6.3; assembly checked and seems accurate   


=== 7/12/2011 ===
Notes: In chapter 6.3, no references were found in the text for figures 13-15.
