1)Example on how to generate a tkmap starting from a list of 
<detids> <value>  (NB: a single entry for each detid)

Starting from a ascii file containing the list (dummy.txt) and from an empty tkmap.xml 
run this awk script to create a new xml tkmap
 
awk -f tkmap.awk [optional vmin=value0 vmax=value1] dummy.txt tkmap_white.xml > ! dummy.xml

-------------------------------------------------

To generate a .png, .pdf, .C file containing the same tkmap included in a tkmap.xml
run the application 

svgTopng.exe <inputTkMap> <outputFile>

for example
./svgTopng.exe dummy.xml dummy.png
./svgTopng.exe dummy.xml dummy.pdf

or
./svgTopng.exe NoiseTkMap_Run_109574.svg Noise.png
-------------------------------------------------

To compile the executable svtTopng.exe run the script ./compile.sh


2)Example on how to create the set of 41 images of the "tracker scan" (one for each layer)
starting from a text file "points.txt" containing a list of points in space in the format: 
detid x y z 

./tkScanBuild.exe points.txt

To compile the executable tkScanBuild.exe

use the command:

g++ -g -m32 -Wall -ansi -I $ROOTSYS/include -L $ROOTSYS/lib `root-config --glibs` -o tkScanBuild.exe tkScanBuild.C

To test the program you need to download in the same directory:
  tkScanBuild.exe
  points.txt
  CommonTools/TrackerMap/data/tracker.dat

Then give the command:

./tkScanBuild.exe points.txt

To create the web page "tkscan.html" with thumbnails linked to the 41 images use
the following command:
montage -geometry 240x120+10+10 -background white -tile 5x100 -label %f PIXB*.png TIB*.png TOB*.png NULL: NULL: PIXEM*.png TIDM*.png TECM*.png NULL: PIXEP*.png TIDP*.png TECP*.png tkscan.html
