Computational Pipelines for Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Team Invasion Games

Anj Simmons, 2019

This repo contains all the LaTeX files and figures to generate my thesis. A pre-built PDF version can be found in the revisions directory.

How to generate PDF

To generate thesis.pdf:

make

See Makefile for additional make commands. E.g. make chaps generates a PDF for each chapter.

The other make commands assume you have already run make once to build the thesis. E.g. make fast does a single pass update, suitable for previewing minor changes. make ch1, make ch2, ... make ch8 generate a PDF for just a single chapter of the thesis.

Word count

To run a word count, do a make first (if you haven't already), then run:

./scripts/wordcount.sh

The grand total (detex) output is a better estimate than grand total (wc), as wc will count everything in the file, whereas detex doesn't include the LaTeX comments. According to detex, my thesis is approximately sixty thousand words.

Build environment

Ubuntu 18.04
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017/Debian)
biber version: 2.9

Dependencies:

• LaTeX (do full install of all packages, and make sure you have pdflatex and biber on path).
• make (will already be installed by default on most Linux distributions)

Project structure

• Constants for name, supervisors, publication date, etc. in preamble.tex
• Reference database(s) in thesis-lit-*.bib (list of .bib files searched specified in thesis-refs.tex). Export to Bibtex format if using Mendeley or Zotero. Can also edit Bibtex using JabRef or a text editor.
• Images go in figs/
• Top level file (e.g. to include extra chapters) is thesis.tex.
• thesis-includes.tex is auto-generated by Makefile. This is used as a way to includeonly certain chapters and set variables to control whether a single chapter or the full thesis is built.
