Introduction to CD

he figures on the CD are in color, when available, and a few are
animated. Many of the figures and captions are not entirely
T“stand-alone”, since it is assumed that these will be viewed
along with the book. Some of the book captions had to be condensed
or rewritten for space limitations, and several figures are not in the
book but added to the CD to enhance understanding.
A number of the book figures should be seen in color to fully
understand their meaning, which necessitated the color CD. In
addition, all figures whether they have color or not, are included for
convenience. These are in the order of their chapter and figure
number, so that a reader can view them on a large computer screen
when reading the book, or project them. The original JPG figures for
the book were converted into power point slides, original figure
captions from the book (or condensed) are added and converted into
PDF format, which can be searched by figure number or title and can
be easily viewed. In several cases when animations were available,
they will follow the associated color figure slide. These may have to
be clicked or double-clicked to see the animation. Readers may also
have to click a security warning before the first animation, and each
time if read directly from the CD.
In some cases more extensive explanation is added, or an additional
figure from the author’s talks/papers may follow the referenced figure,
to further clarify/explain. Some long captions had to be condensed to
fit the space. (Only one table, requiring color, is included.)
[Reference numbers] following the captions are those in the book,
and with the same notation. Some source references and permissions
are included in the captions (if not, they were made at NIST or by that
section author). It is assumed that references in the printed-book
captions are adequate and vice versa. It is also assumed that the
figures (captions) will be viewed on a computer screen rather than
projected, so the print can be small.
A title-bar color code is used to identify the different sections.
Those by invited authors are GREEN. Normal chapters are RED.
Animations are YELLOW with red borders. This allows the reader to
find them quickly.
