This tutorial shows how to edit an executable paper using VisTrails and its LaTeX extensions. It requires LaTeX and Downloads VisTrails (version 1.6.2 or later). Please download them if you have not done so already.

  1. The tutorial uses this paper [TODO add link]. Please download the source here [TODO add link].
  2. After downloading and extracting the source directory, compile the paper. If you have make installed, you can use the included Makefile. If not, type
    pdflatex --shell-escape tutorial
    Make sure that vistrails.sty and includevistrail.py are included in the same directory as the paper.
  3. Open the newly created tutorial.pdf. You should see the generated figure.
  4. Click on the figure. This should download a .vtl. If this file does not open automatically with VisTrails, double-click it and define the file extension association or open it directly in VisTrails via File -> Open.
