This is the source code for SCIgen.

This is a modular style perl program that laces together a bunch of external programs to render a pattern into a text, then latex file. The script will produce working latex output. In order to convert that to a pdf you'll also need tools from texlive-core, notably pdflatex.

pacman -Sy graphviz texlive-bin inkscape ghostscript gnuplot

A bunch of other things are required that your system probably already has (perl, etc.)

git clone "https://github.com/Marcool04/scigen"

You can now test that everything works:

$ cd scigen
$ mkdir output
$ ./make-latex.pl --author "Jean Peuplu" --savedir "$pwd/output/"

(Optionally) convert the latex output to pdf:

$ cd output
$ pdflatex
