Get help
The help section in relax is the best you can get !
Just start relax in terminal:
> relax
# Then write, to see options which is related to relax_disp.
relax> help(relax_disp)
For example:
help(relax_disp.select_model)
# You can find more info at the wiki: http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Category:Relaxation_dispersion
# Here you can find link to the online HTML manual, and the API documentation.
# You may want to read:
relax> help(relax_disp.exp_type)
relax> help(spectrum)
relax> help(spectrum.replicated)
relax> help(spectrum.baseplane_rmsd)
relax> help(spectrometer)
# This a very very fast an useful method to quickly understand the functions.
# If you are unsure how to find where each method function is put, start the GUI.
# In the top menu, go through the settings.
# They are ordered the same way. ! :-)
# For example.
relax> help(grid_search)
Write to the mail lists to get personal help
See the wiki page Mailing archives, to read how to sign up and write to the mail archives.
Build the manual
Latex requirements
The html.sty is needed from the latex package latex2html.
A windows MiKTeX installation should fetch it automatically.
When compiling the pdf latex manual, only html.sty is needed. The easiest is just to place that in your LaTeX installation. See this guide.
cd $HOME/Downloads ;
wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/latex2html/latex2html-2012.tgz ;
tar -xzf latex2html-2012.tgz ;
rm latex2html-2012.tgz ;
cd `where latex | xargs dirname`
cd ../../texmf-local/tex/latex
# OR
cd ../../texmf-dist/tex/latex
cp -r /$HOME/Downloads/latex2html-2012/texinputs latex2html
# Then update latex index
texhash
For a complete build of latex2html in linux, you could do something like this installation. But this is only for the building of user_manual_html. It is now advised to do this normally.
sudo yum install latex2html
OR
cd $HOME/Downloads ;
wget http://www.latex2html.org/~latex2ht/current/latex2html-2012.tar.gz ;
tar -xzf latex2html-2012.tar.gz ;
rm latex2html-2012.tar.gz ;
cd latex2html-2012 ;
mkdir build ;
./configure --help
./configure
#Or make a custom build
./configure --prefix=$PWD/build
make
Build pdf manual
The manual ends up in docs/relax.pdf
Go to the relax base directory.
Then issue the command
scons user_manual_pdf
This triggers a range of functions, which create some files. If they do not need to be updated, following compilation can be performed much faster with
scons user_manual_pdf_nofetch
Build html manual
This needs quite some time to figure out to install and run latex2html.
Go to the relax base directory.
Then issue the command
scons user_manual_html
And faster
scons user_manual_html_nofetch
Build API (Application programming interface) documentation
The html documentation ends up in docs/api/
Epydoc python package installation
Windows epydoc
First: Download this packages, do not unpack them yet.
take the win32 bit versions.
Open WinPython Control Panel, and drag the .exe into the window.
Install graphviz Windows binaries from http://www.graphviz.org.
Remember to add the binaries to your path.
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.32\bin
Linux
sudo yum install epydoc sudo yum install graphviz-python
Build API
The API ends up in docs/api/index.html
You need to run 'scons clean' first to remove the *.pyc files and any other temporary files.
scons clean
Build the API documentation
scons api_manual_html
Regarding error messages
The "No documentation available!" errors are normal as these are for non-python files which are not part of relax. It's safe to ignore these.
The wxPython indentation errors are also fine. epydoc is scanning the wx module docstrings, but it cannot be stopped.
The "Unable to render Graphviz dot graph" are because the Graphviz software is not available.
Windows binaries are available though (http://www.graphviz.org).
