== Description ==

This program is the same as [[MAKE_TILES]], but it also creates <sequence>.INN files that can be run in parallel. In other words, '''MAKETILESP''' allows [[bigmapL]] to run all the <sequence>.INN files it has made at the same time rather than one at a time. 

Like [[MAKE_TILES]], '''MAKE_TILESP''' builds <sequence>.INN files that are used to make Z-maps with [[bigmapL]]. Z-maps are essentially a combination of bigmaps that, together, fully wrap around the shape model.

'''MAKE_TILESP''' creates a <sequence>.INN file for every row in the input file [[MAPLIST.TXT]]. 
 /!\ Be sure to include enough bigmap names to fully wrap around the surface (calculate with q-size and surface area of shape).

=== Required Files ===
 * [[MAPLIST.TXT]] - List of bigmap names you want to use. 

=== Output Files ===
 * <map_name>.INN files - Inputs for [[bigmapL]]
 * <MAKE_TILES##>.b files -

== Using MAKE_TILESP ==

Here is a sample of the screen output from '''MAKE_TILESP''':

{{{
chmod +x MAKE_TILES01.b
chmod +x MAKE_TILES02.b
chmod +x MAKE_TILES03.b
chmod +x MAKE_TILES04.b

./MAKE_TILES01.b &
./MAKE_TILES02.b &
./MAKE_TILES03.b &
./MAKE_TILES04.b &
}}}

 (!) Copy and paste the screen output into the terminal to create all the z-maps in parallel.

Each <MAKE_TILES##>.b file the following structure, containing one or more lines like this:

{{{
 /usr/local/bin/bigmapL < F00001.INN > F00001.OOT 
}}}
