README.txt

+These are files provided for COMP1204 CW1.
+
+File info:
+- al*.kml
+	These are the kml files containing storm data that you need to process.
+	We've given you three files to develop your script against.
+	You should generate a storm map for each one (using create_map_plot.sh).
+	These map plots should then be added to your report.
+- create_map_plot.sh
+	This script generates plots from csv files. 
+	Your create_csv script should make csv files based on data extracted from the kml files.
+	You can then run
+		./create_map_plot.sh storm_data.csv plot.png 
+	to create a map of the storm data.
+	NOTE: For this script to work correctly, it must be in the same location as plot-locations-on-map.gpi and world-50m.txt.
+- plot-locations-on-map.gpi
+	This is the gnuplot code for creating the storm plots. 
+	It is run by the create_map_plot.sh script, so you shouldn't need to run it yourself or modify it in any way.
+- report.tex
+	This is the Latex report template that you should use for your report.
+- world-50m.txt
+	This contains information used to draw the world map background in your storm plots. 
+	It is used by the plot-locations-on-map.gpi script.

create_map_plot.sh

+#!/bin/bash

+image_output_path=$2
