README for Lucille Terry Nowell's ETD. Title: Graphical Encoding for Information Visualization... The ETD consists of 14 files: 1. ETD. PDF -- the dissertation itself. 2. Fig1_1.gif 3. Fig3_1.gif 4. Fig3_2.gif 5. Fig3_3.gif 6. Fig3_4.gif 7. Fig3_5.gif 8. Fig3_6.gif 9. Fig3_7.gif 10. Fig3_8.gif 11. Fig3_9.gif 12. Fig3_10.gif 13. Fig3_11.gif 14. Fig3_12.gif This is a resubmission. As per reviewer comments, I have corrected the order of the front matter. Since Acrobat would not open the GIF files produced with the unix xv application, I opened them with Graphic Converter and saved them again as GIF files. My Acrobat now uses the links to open these files properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pages for figures are numbered to interleave with text figures, so page numbers in the body skip to allow for figures. Figure pages are of screen dumps, originally captured using a unix utility. Captions and page numbers were added with TeX and dvips. The image was then grabbed into xv to produce gifs. The results are not very attractive, since much image detail is eliminated. (This is also true for JPEG; I tried both.) I hope that, in the future, you will allow PostScript files for images, since the quality of my presentation would certainly be better in that case. Voicemail messages may be left a 951-1710 in Blacksbburg through December 27. After that, I can be reached by telephone at (804)544-8157 on weekdays, or messages may be left at my home number -- (804)239-7380. I also check email regularly, both at nowell@vt.edu and at NOWELL1@acavax.lynchburg.edu. Thanks. Lucy Nowell
