Instructions for Making Figures Work

Prerequisites

1. Linux or macOS. This will not work on Windows because of upstream code.
2. Python 2 per Bill Cassellman's instructions. He doesn't appear to have any intention of supporting Python 3.
3. PiScript by Bill Cassellman.

Included

1. figures.py comes from David Austin and is included here

Instructions

If you get PiScript set up, then running python 1_1_Act1.py (or whatever the image filename is) will produce an eps file. Your first attempt will likely fail because of font-related issues. See Bill's instructions on how to fix this. On macOS, I needed to follow the instructions (with the appropriate TeXLive year) on the PiScript font help section.
