Day Books: Memo to IGES v5.3 Editor (12-Jun-95)

This seemed like a good place to put the URLs for the WYGIWYS IGES example files, a.k.a. the IGES X-files.

Subj:   New WYGIWYS IGES files for Version 5.3
Here is the list of the 29 renamed WYGIWYS (What You Get Is What You See) IGES files. The figure numbers relate to the 30-Mar-95 draft of IGES Version 5.3. NOTE: F100X.IGS is new to the list, but it was always a WYGIWYS file. (Duh!)

The appropriate LaTeX files have been updated and will be delivered to the IGES Editor (Phil@Sandia) at the meeting in Groton later this week. (Note: I only changed "\plot{}" and "\caption{}" statements, and left the "\label{}" statements as they were.) All of the IGES files for Version 5.3 are contained in the self-extracting archive named VER53IGS.EXE, which will be delivered with hard-copy plots at the same time and place.

While making these changes, I also changed some non-WYGIWYS IGES filenames, but only ones that related to the same entities as listed above. The following list is the additional figure name changes. 

And now for something completely different ... The missing figures from the 30-Mar-95 draft of IGES 5.3 seem to be the reult of the following problems:
  1. Gaylen@NIST was provided a script by Phil@Sandia to create Encapsulated PostScript (.EPS) files from IGES (.IGS) files.
  1. The "\plot{}" macro in the LaTeX file did not have the correct filename.
  2. Some of the missing figures had upper-case letters in the "\plot{}" macro in the LaTeX file, e.g., "F21801E" instead of "f218e" -- I'm Totally Clueless about case sensitivity in the systems used to generate the printed version, but those that I found, I changed. 
My memo of 18-May-95 listed 17 missing figures. I have corrected both the LaTeX files and the script, but because I do not have a PostScript printer, I have not tested these changes.
There is an open issue of an ECO number for the filename changes. For the time being, all of the LaTeX files I have modified have the comment string "%ECOdah" as their first line. The following is a list of these files.
