PP3 -- Celestial charts generation Version 1.3.3 2004/08/13 http://pp3.sourceforge.net (c) 2004 Torsten Bronger <[email protected]> See the file COPYING or the above web address for licence information. INSTALLATION There is a binary distribution for the Linux (RPM) and one for the Windows platform, and two source distributions, a full and a 'crippled' one. The crippled version has no Milky Way and no nebulae data, and it doesn't contain the CWEB source code making it more difficult to adjust the source to your compiler's peculiarities. Please note that PP3 produces nothing else but a LaTeX file. Thus you must have LaTeX installed if you want to get the actual map. It is not necessary to be able to use LaTeX though. If you want PP3 to produce an EPS or a PDF, dvips and ps2pdf must be installed properly, too. (However mostly they are part of the TeX distribution anyway.) See PP3's homepage for more information. The only really critical point is that PP3 needs to find its data files (all files with the .dat extension). By default, * the Windows version looks for them in the current directory, and * the Linux version looks for them in the directory /usr/local/share/pp3 If you don't like that, you can move them to another directory and set the environment variable PP3DATA to that directory. It it also possible to recompile PP3 with a different default data directory. For this, change the beginning of the Makefile. USAGE See below for the documentation. But for a quick test, enter the examples/ directory and say pp3 leo.pp3 The result should be a file leo.eps with the constellation of Lion. If you want to see the Milky Way on your maps, you probably have to set the main memory size of your TeX distribution to its maximal value. This is very implementation specific. With teTeX (Linux) you have to find the file texmf.cnf and set main_memory.latex to 7500000. Then call "fmtutil --byfmt latex". With fpTeX/TeXLive (Windows) it's the same, however MikTeX (Windows too) is different: Look for a directory called "localtexmf". Then create the file "localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini" and write "mem_max=7500000" in it. Alternatively (albeit not cleanly), look for an existing file called miktex.ini and change the line with "mem_max" to the above. DOCUMENTATION The documentation of PP3 can be found at http://pp3.sourceforge.net/manual/. Another important source of information are the example input scripts in examples/. On PP3's project web page you can download a concise reference card. The source code of PP§ is written in CWEB und thus well documented. DATABASES PP3's standard distribution bases on the following original data compilations: stars BSC Hoffleit & Warren(1) nebulae NGC/IC Wolfgang Steinicke(2) boundaries Cat. of Constell.
