Deprecated: Generation of NOPS Exams (Uni Innsbruck)

Description

Unexported legacy interface to exams2nops with different default values as used at Uni Innsbruck. Instead it is recommended to use exams2nops directly.

Usage

exams2nops(
  file,
  n = 1L,
  dir = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  language = "de",
  title = "Klausur",
  course = "",
  institution = "Universit\\\"at Innsbruck",
  logo = "uibk-logo-bw.png",
  date = Sys.Date(),
  replacement = TRUE,
  intro = NULL,
  blank = NULL,
  duplex = TRUE,
  pages = NULL,
  usepackage = NULL,
  encoding = "",
  startid = 1L,
  points = NULL,
  showpoints = FALSE,
  reglength = 8L,
  ...
)

Arguments

file	character. A specification of a (list of) exercise files.
n	integer. The number of copies to be compiled from file.
dir	character. The default is either display on the screen or the current working directory.
name	character. A name prefix for resulting exercises and RDS file.
language	character. Path to a DCF file with a language specification. Currently, "en" and "de" are shipped with the exams package.
title	character. Title of the exam, e.g., "Statistische Datenanalyse".
course	character. Course number, e.g., "403001".
institution	character. Name of the institution at which the exam is conducted.
logo	character. Path to a logo image. If the logo is not found, it is simply omitted.
date	character or "Date" object specifying the date of the exam.
replacement	logical. Should a replacement exam sheet be included?
intro	character with LaTeX code for introduction text at the beginning of the exam.
blank	integer. Number of blank pages to be added at the end. (Default is chosen to be half of the number of exercises.)
duplex	logical. Should blank pages be added after the title page (for duplex printing)?
pages	character. Path(s) to additional PDF pages to be included at the end of the exam.
usepackage	character. Names of additional LaTeX packages to be included.
encoding	character, passed to Sweave.
startid	integer. Starting ID for the exam numbers (defaults to 1).
points	integer. How many points should be assigned to each exercise? Note that this argument overules any exercise points that are provided within the expoints tags of the exercise files (if any). The vector of points supplied should either have length 1 or the number of exercises in the exam.
showpoints	logical. Should the PDF show the number of points associated with each exercise (if specified in the Rnw/Rmd exercise or in points)?
reglength	integer. Number of digits in the registration ID. The default is 8 and it can be increased up to 10.
...	arguments passed on to exams2pdf.
