<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page contains information on compiling and adding information to<br /> the graduate textbook &#039;Networked Sensing, Estimation and Control<br /> Systems&#039; by Vijay Gupta, Richard Murray, Ling Shi and Bruno Sinopoli.<br /> <br /> == Obtaining the source files ==<br /> <br /> The source files for the book are maintained using Subversion.<br /> Subversion is standard on most linux distributions and a variety of<br /> clients are available for Macs and PCs. More information on<br /> subversion (including links to binary installations) is available via<br /> the subversion homepage: http://subversion.tigris.org/<br /> <br /> Once you have subversion installed, you can check out the latest copy<br /> of the book using the command:<br /> <br /> svn checkout http://svn.cds.caltech.edu/subversion/murray/books/ncs<br /> <br /> When you run the command, you should get prompted for your username<br /> and password. Send e-mail to Richard if you don&#039;t have/remember this information. If all works well, you should have<br /> a directory ncs that has a bunch of files in it.<br /> <br /> == Directory structure ==<br /> <br /> The book contents are organized by chapter, with the source code for<br /> each chapter in a separate subdirectory. All files for the chapter<br /> (latex source, figures, etc) are included in the subdirectory.<br /> <br /> == Compiling the book ==<br /> <br /> There are basically two stages to compiling the book: generating all<br /> of the figures and running latex. To generate the figures that are<br /> needed for the text, type &#039;make&#039; in the each of the chapter<br /> subdirectories. This should create any figures that are required.<br /> Once you have created the figures, you can run &#039;latex ncsbook&#039; to<br /> create ncsbook.dvi. Alternatively, running make in the main directory<br /> should generate the dvi file and also create a PDF file.<br /> <br /> The book uses a number of standard LaTeX macro packages. Some<br /> installations of TeX may not have these packages installed, in which<br /> case you can just grab the missing style file and put it in the main<br /> book directory. You can find all of the standard packages that are<br /> used via CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/</div>
