= make_scriptF.seed =

== Description ==

This seed file is used by [[make_scriptF]], the script-maker for batch [[lithos]] processing. '''make_scriptR.seed''' contains the [[lithos]] commands for processing each landmark.

[[make_scriptF]] is a generic script maker for batch lithos processing tasks. You specify the set of landmarks to process in [[make_script.in]] and the sequence of commands to process in '''make_scriptF.seed'''.

[[make_scriptF]] generates the .INN files and run scripts to batch process the landmarks, and generates .OOT files and saves display files during processing for user inspection.

 /!\ You should test the command sequence in [[lithos]] before running the script generated by [[make_scriptF]].

== Writing the make_scriptF.seed ==

[[lithos]] expects a sequence of start and end commands which must be contained in the seed file before and after the processing commands.

Here is a sample '''make_scriptF.seed''' file.  The required start and end command sequences are explained below.

#end-of-file identifier

}}}

=== Start Commands ===

The .INN file starts with the command '''i''': input landmark, and the landmark name. [[lithos]] then asks you whether to check for more images. The following samples show the prompts and responses for both 'y' and 'n' responses to this prompt:

{{{
 Check for more images? y[n]
n
 Include a single image? y[n]
n
}}}

{{{
 Check for more images? y[n]
y

 Enter fractional width (0=center).
.5

 Reject invisibles? y[n]
n
}}}

When you create the '''make_scriptF.seed''' file, you must start with a sequence that deals with this set of options.  In the sample, the Start Commands lines are annotated to indicate these responses.

=== End Command ===

[[make_scriptF]] expects you to quit [[lithos]] on completion of each landmark. The '''make_scriptF.seed''' file must contain the quit command '''q''' on the second-to-last-line.

=== End-Of-File Identifier ===

[[make_scriptF]] expects the seed file to end with the end-of-file identifier, '''END'''. Any commands following this will not be appended to the .INN file.

=== Comments ===

Use '''#''' at the beginning of any comment line you want to include. [[make_scriptF]] does not append these to the .INN file.
