- These are the conventions for the protocols which are to be written in the course of the Remote sensing image processing with open source software lecture. The protocols will serve as blueprints for the QGIS exercises articles.
Use present tense!
Keep in mind that you want to explain to other people (i.e. wiki-readers) how they can reproduce what you did in the exercise. The result should read very much like a technical manual, so present tense is the appropriate form.
Provide screenshots
For others to better understand your work, it's good to use images of what happens on screen, so please provide a few screenshots. You don't need to take a shot from every selected menu or confirmed dialogue! As a rule of thumb, 2 -- 5 screenshots per exercise should do. A good means for others to keep track of the tutorial are screenshots of the results of an exercise -- So they can see what their results should look like, if they've done everything right. Screenshots should be taken with a resolution of 1000x1000 pixels.
If you don't know how to take a screenshot, read this tutorial for windows, see the external links section.
 |
Attention!: |
Don't paste screenshots into a word document (this includes your protocol). Provide screenshots as *.png or *.jpg. |
|
Attention!: |
The screenshots should only contain the relevant windows (most of the time this would be the QGIS window). The tutorials in the external links section include information on how to take active-window screenshots. |
