################################################################################
#
# Standard variables and rules for building everything associated with a
# content file, including graphics and supporting files. Only content
# files that have such supporting files need to have (custom) rules
# defined for them, all other content files will be handled by make's
# default behaviour.
#
# Note that all versions of the graphics for a content file will be
# generated, regardless of whether we are building the web or print
# versions. This may seem a little wasteful, but there are two points to
# consider here:
# 
# 	1. At the time this makefile is executed, we have no easy way
# 	   to determine which "build mode" we are in. (It could be done
# 	   with exported variables from the parent makefile, but see below.)
# 
# 	2. This makefile will only be executed once for the document in
# 	   question anyway, because once make has processed the parent
# 	   file, that file will be considered "up-to-date", and make will
# 	   therefore not come back to it again, even though both the print
# 	   and web targets depend on it.
# 
# So, even if we just were clever enough to set up conditionals based on
# the "build mode", if we just went "make", we would almost certainly find
# that make would build either the web graphics only, or the print
# graphics only, but not both. We therefore leave this file as is, and
# build both web and print graphics regardless. It doesn't take that much
# longer anyway, especially since we won't be regenerating all of the
# graphics for _everything_ when only one file has changed :)

# Build correctly cropped PDF (for printing) from source EPS or PS. See below
# for handling PDF sources.
#
# Notes on ps2eps options:
#
#   --loose expands the bounding box by one "point" (= pixel?), preventing
#   it from cropping too closely. However, even this doesn't seem to be
#   enough in all cases, thus:
#
#   --nohires (not --no-hires as specified in the help) prevents it
#   generating a hi-res bounding box, which seems to fix things in most
#   cases.
#
#   --ignoreBB because it seems to occasionally wig out and generate
#   bizarre crap for the bounding box, which then causes GhostScript to
#   crash (e.g., I've seen it generate a bounding box of 246 53 0 0, which
#   is just plain impossible). The help suggests using this if
#   "BoundingBox in output seems to be wrong". I think this counts :)
#
#   ps2eps seems to have a problem with determining the bounding box of one
#   of the graphics files (the St Germain ERD), which is solved by passing the
#   --gsbbox option.
#
# Notes on gs options:
#
#   -dEPSCrop forces gs to crop the EPS image to its bounding box. If not
#   specified, gs renders the EPS on the default paper size.
#
#   If the fonts go weird in generated PDFs (in particular, they go jaggy
#   at high resolutions), add -dNOCACHE to the gs commands. While this is
#   supposedly only "only for debugging" according to the documentation,
#   in GhostScript 8.15 this seemed to fix the font rendering issue. It
#   appears to have been fixed in GhostScript 8.51?

# Build correctly cropped PNGs for web display from source EPS, PS or PDF.
#
# It might seem to make more sense to generate the PNGs from the print
# EPS, which has already been appropriately cropped (see above). However,
# the results of directory searches using vpath are rather unpredictable
# when the source file is not guaranteed to exist. If we depended on
# %-print.eps, which is generated by the rule above, it's not guaranteed
# that the file will exist at the time that make performs its directory
# search (which seems to be done statically). The source EPS isn't
# generated and can thus be guaranteed to always exist. Give me guaranteed
# correct operation over efficiency any day! :)
