From this "$BASE" directory PV-Wave script procedure files: generate (do_*.pro) wave surfaces in the topology (TP) directory, purge (purge_*.pro) files from various TP directories, and store results in the Results directory.

A new color table "scheme" was developed so that the user can create a color table that is appropriate and can be used CONSISTENTLY in the generation of Cijkl wave surface results. These results are summarized, analyzed, and interpreted using a standard Web browser at Results/cijkl_results.html. This scheme was developed and documented in the scheme and Estab_ct directories. Particular attention was devoted to evaluating a variety of different wave surface image types that would prove to be the most useful in analyzing and interpreting Cijkl 3D wave surface topologies. The final goal here is to implement this procedure into an interactive Web based NPIB module for the students to use in ESM5344, "Wave Propagation in Solids", for the Spring04 semester. Throughout this desription the "user" refers to either the student or a researcher where either can investigate different crystal class symmetries. The intent here is consistent with the idea behind developing a useful set of tools for combined research and curriculum developement, http://www.jwave.sv.vt.edu/crcd Hence the ultimate goal is to organize and create content that can be used either for distance learning or collaborative research. Procedure Description: Part I: Create cijkl.data file for appropriate crystal class symmetry Various cijkl.data files have been created and archived in the Archive_data directory. To start the calculations the user must choose an appropriate data file from this directory, renamed this data file to cijkl.data, and move it into the "$BASE" directory. The user can also create an new data file by following the same format. To facilitate the use of this procedure by others not familiar with working with with scripts in a UNIX shell this data file will be converted to a NPIB Java-Web based form file which will allow the user to just enter the necessary data and submit results for calculation, see more about NPIB at http://www.jwave.vt.edu/npib/npib.html Part II: ESTABlish appropriate ASCII Color Table, Estab_ct directory An ASCII color table is created in the Estab_ct directory, renamed to ct.ascii, and moved into the "$BASE" directory. The procedure for creating an appropriate ASCII color table is documented in detail in the Estab_ct directory. Part III: Generate wave surfaces in various topology (TP) directories Images are generated from the "$BASE" directory using the PV-Wave procedure file do_all.pro. The PV-Wave procedure file sit.pro prompts the user for an image type number. The number 8 is recommended. The user can choose from twelve different image types which are visually summarized and compared in the JPG image which can be accessed at ~rkriz/Projects/color/npib_Cijkl_glyphs/Results/imagetypes.jpg Generation of various wave surfaces is accomplished in two steps: Step I: do_tp_jpg.pro generates JPG images in two different directories: - DIRECTORY TP/surf121: Wave surface topology data files are created. These topology data files are used to create Gouraud shaded wave surfaces (no color) and Mercator maps of wave surface properties which are saved as JPG images. - DIRECTORY TP/surf121/MM/m_ws: Wave surface polygonal plots are created in a variety of formats: simple isometric schematic of wave surfaces intersecting three orthogonal planes, polygonal wave surfaces overlayed with Mercator color maps. Color bar legends are also created that represent the ASCII color table. The isometric wave surface schematic and color bar legend are combined with various polygonal wave surfaces and saved as JPG images. Step II: do_tp_anim.pro generates animated GIF images of rotating wave surfaces in the TP/surf121/MM/m_anim directory Part IV: View results in the Results directory Various wave surface topologies previously generated are moved into the Results directory and organized into a single Web viewable HTML file cijkl_results.html for analysis and interpretation. Part V: Archive results in the Archive_Results directory Wave surfaces images in Results directory are tarred (*.tar) and archived in the Archive_Results directory. ------------------------------- END OF README --------------------------------
