Other packages[edit]
Two other packages might be useful in conjunction with Madagascar:
Reproducible figures[edit]
Using Git, run
git clone https://github.com/ahay/figs $RSFROOT/share/madagascar/figs
This installs a large coalition of thousands of reproducible figures. It may take a long time to download and about 20 GB of disk space. The figures are preserved for regression testing whenever the software or the environment changes.
You can reproduce the figures (excluding those generated with proprietary data or additional software) by running scons lock in individual project directories or by going to RSFSRC and running
sfbooklist command="scons lock" book
LaTeX package[edit]
SEGTeX is a LaTeX package for geophysical publications. It can be used with Madagascar for writing reproducible papers.
