AMC-PREPARE(1)						       Auto Multiple Choice						    AMC-PREPARE(1)

NAME

       AMC-prepare - prepares working documents from LaTeX source file

SYNOPSIS

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix project-dir mcq-source-file

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --data project-data-dir mcq-source-file

DESCRIPTION

       The AMC-prepare.pl command extracts working documents from the source file describing the multiple choice questionnaire. Information to be
       extracted depends on the --mode argument value. In any mode, the source filename must be given as an argument.

       o   with "--mode s", AMC-prepare.pl makes the subject file (answer sheet to be printed and given to the students), the correction (single
	   corrected answer sheet) and the positions file (file containing information about the positions of the boxes on the pages). The
	   following arguments can be used:

	   --out-sujet subject.pdf
	       sets the subject file to build.

	   --out-corrige corrected.pdf
	       sets the correction to build.

	   --out-calage calage.xy
	       sets the positions file to build.

	   --prefix directory
	       this directory is only necessary if one or more of the three previous options are not used: default values are then
	       directory/sujet.pdf, directory/corrige.pdf and directory/calage.xy.

       o   with "--mode b", AMC-prepare.pl extracts scoring data from the source file. In this mode, the --data argument must be used (see below).

       The following optional arguments can be used in any mode:

       --with latex-engine
	   gives the LaTeX engine (command) to be used.  latex-engine can be pdflatex or xelatex for exemple.

       --filter filter
	   sets the filter name to transform the MCQ source file into a LaTeX file. Native filters are latex (no change at all) and plain (source
	   is an AMC-TXT file).

       --filtered-source mcq-latex-file
	   gives the LaTeX file to make from the source file using specified filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file adding
	   _filtered.tex is used.

       --n-copies n
	   sets the number of copies to produce, overriding the number given in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the onecopy command).

       --debug file.log
	   gives a file to fill with debugging information.

       --data project-data-dir
	   sets the directory where the project's SQLite data files are.

NAME

       AMC-note - computes marks after scans data capture for AMC multiple choice exams.

SYNOPSIS

       auto-multiple-choice note --data project-data-dir [--seuil threshold] [--grain granularity] [--arrondi rounding] [--notemin min]
			    [--notemax max] [--no-plafond | --plafond]

DESCRIPTION

       The AMC-note.pl command computes marks for all students from the scoring strategy extracted from the LaTeX source file by AMC-prepare(1)
       and from the data capture reports made by AMC-analyse(1).

       --data project-data-dir
	   gives the directory where data files are (see for example AMC-meptex(1)).

       --seuil threshold
	   gives the black ratio threshold (see AMC-analyse(1)) for deciding whether a box is ticked or not.

       --grain granularity --arrondi rounding
	   ask marks to be rounded to a multiple of granularity. If rounding is 'i', rounding is done from below (as with floor(3)). If rounding
	   is 'n', rounding is done to the nearest multiple of granularity. If rounding is 's', rounding is done from above (as with ceil(3)). For
	   example, with options "--grain 0.25 --arrondi s", mark 6.285 is rounded to 6.5.

       --notemin min
	   with this option, all marks below min will be replaced by min.

       --notemax max
	   gives the mark to associate to a sheet where all answers are correct. If not used, marks are not scaled.

       --plafond
	   with this option, all marks above max will be replaced by max.

       --debug file.log
	   gives a file to fill with debugging information.

       --postcorrect-student s --postcorrect-copy c
	   requests port-correction from the completed answer sheet identified by student and copy numbers. In post-correction mode, correct
	   answers are not extracted from the LaTeX source file, but taken from the answers given on this sheet.
