% \section{Introduction}
%
% This class provides a \LaTeXe\ template for all theses at the Faculty of Informations at the TU Wien.
% Further information on the document class and accompanying support can be found at \url{https://gitlab.com/ThomasAUZINGER/vutinfth}.
% Further guidelines may apply to both the format and structure of certain theses.
% These can be found at \url{https://informatics.tuwien.ac.at/study-services}.
% Thesis authors are advised to consult Section~\ref{sec:user} for a documentation of all relevant commands.
% Information for class developers is provided in Section~\ref{sec:class}.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \section{Known Issues}
%
% This class is incompatible with the |minitoc| package as of version 60, due to the incompatibility of the underlying |memoir| class.
% Use the |titletoc| package as a replacement.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \section{Usage for Document Authors}
% \label{sec:user}
%
% This section contains relevant information for authors of theses that are based on the |vutinfth| document class.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection{Data}
% \label{sec:user:data}
%
% To allow the generation of the title pages, signature fields, statements, etc., several pieces of information have to be set by the author using the commands in the subsequent sections.
% We discern several categories of data: \textit{(i)} textual data, which is given by a simple text string, \textit{(ii)} persons, which are defined by their names, optional titles, and their gender, as well as, \textit{(iii)} dates and \textit{(iv)} list data, which allow the selection of one argument from a list of permissible arguments.
% Several commands have polylingual capabilities and support different languages (see Section~\ref{sec:user:data:polylingual}). A superscript P, i.e., |\command|\ispoly, indicates such a command.
%
% \subsubsection{Textual Data}
% \label{sec:user:data:text}
%
% ^^A\DescribeMacro{\setaddress}
% \DescribeMacro{\setregnumber}
% \DescribeMacro{\settitle}
% \DescribeMacro{\setsubtitle}
% \DescribeMacro{\setcurriculum}
% \DescribeMacro{\setfirstreviewerdata}
% \DescribeMacro{\setsecondreviewerdata}
% All commands in this section are called with one mandatory argument, e.g., as |\command|\marg{text}, where \meta{text} defines the content of the commands. For polylingual commands, given by |\command|\ispoly, one \meta{text} argument has to supplied for each language (see Section~\ref{sec:user:data:polylingual}). The following textual data can be set:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Role & Type & Optional\\
%   \midrule
%   ^^A|\setaddress| & Address of the author & All & No \\
%   |\setregnumber| & Registration number of the author & All & No \\
%   |\settitle|\ispoly & Title of the thesis & All & No \\
%   |\setsubtitle|\ispoly & Subtitle of the thesis & All & Yes \\
%   |\setcurriculum|\ispoly & Name of the curriculum & B, M & No \\
%   \midrule
%   \multicolumn{4}{l}{Types: Bachelor (B), Master (M), Doctoral (D), PhD School (P), All (All)} \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}

%   |\setsecondreviewerdata| & Affiliation and country & P & No \\
%                            & of second reviewer      &   &    \\
%   \midrule
%   \multicolumn{4}{l}{Types: Bachelor (B), Master (M), Doctoral (D), PhD School (P), All (All)} \\

% \subsubsection{Persons}
% \label{sec:user:data:person}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setauthor}
% \DescribeMacro{\setadvisor}
% \DescribeMacro{\setsecondadvisor}
% \DescribeMacro{\setfirstassistant}
% \DescribeMacro{\setsecondassistant}
% \DescribeMacro{\setthirdassistant}
% \DescribeMacro{\setfirstreviewer}
% \DescribeMacro{\setsecondreviewer}
% All commands in this section are called with four mandatory arguments, e.g., as |\command|\marg{pretitle}\marg{name}\marg{posttitle}\marg{gender}, where \meta{name} defines both the first name(s) and family name(s) of the person. A title that is placed before the name is assigned with \meta{pretitle}, while a trailing title is given with \meta{posttitle}. Both \meta{pretitle} and \meta{posttitle} can be left empty, to indicate an absence of such a title; the insertion of appropriate glue between titles and names is handled by the |vutinfth| class. The declaration of the persons gender via \meta{gender} allows the use of gender-specific terms in languages that support them, e.g., German. The possible options for \meta{gender} are |male| and |female| (see Section~\ref{sec:user:data:list}). The following persons can be set:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Role & Type & Optional\\
%   \midrule
%   |\setauthor| & Author of the thesis & All & No \\
%   |\setadvisor| & Main advisor of the thesis & All & No \\
%   |\setsecondadvisor| & Second advisor of the thesis & D, P & Yes \\
%   |\setfirstassistant| & First advising assistant & B, M & Yes \\
%   |\setsecondassistant| & Second advising assistant & B, M & Yes \\
%   |\setthirdassistant| & Third advising assistant & B, M & Yes \\
%   |\setfirstreviewer| & First thesis reviewer & D, P & No \\
%   |\setsecondreviewer| & Second thesis reviewer & D, P & No \\
%   \midrule
%   \multicolumn{4}{l}{Types: Bachelor (B), Master (M), Doctoral (D), PhD School (P), All (All)} \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% \subsubsection{Dates}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setdate}
% All commands in this section are called with three madatory arguments, e.g., as |\command|\marg{day}\marg{month}\marg{year}. The syntax is identical to the last three arguments of the |\newdate| command of the |datetime| package, from which these commands derive. The following dates can be set:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Role & Type & Optional\\
%   \midrule
%   |\setdate| & Signing date & All & No \\
%   \midrule
%   \multicolumn{4}{l}{Types: Bachelor (B), Master (M), Doctoral (D), PhD School (P), All (All)} \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% \subsubsection{List Data}
% \label{sec:user:data:list}
%
% All commands in this section are called with at least one madatory argument called \meta{list}, e.g., as |\command|\dots\marg{list}\dots, where \meta{list} is given one element from a set of possible arguments.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setauthor}
% \DescribeMacro{\setadvisor}
% \marginpar{\strut\hfill$\cdots$}
% When setting a person, the person's gender is specified with a list argument (see Section~\ref{sec:user:data:person}):
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Options & Description\\
%   \midrule
%   |\command|\marg{.}\marg{.}\marg{.}\marg{list} & |male| & Specifies a male person. \\
%                                                 & |female| & Specifies a female person. \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% No pronouns are generated based on the gender choice and it should be chosen in a way to reflect the preferred use of nouns (e.g., Autor or Autorin in German).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setthesis}
% The thesis type is selected from one of the fundamental types:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Options & Description\\
%   \midrule
%   |\setthesis|\marg{list} & |bachelor| & Specifies a bachelor's thesis. \\

%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setmasterdegree}
% With a master's curriculum, different degrees can be achieved and the appropriate type has to be chosen based on the curriculum that the author is enroled in:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}

%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% \subsubsection{Polylingual Data}
% \label{sec:user:data:polylingual}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setcurriculum}
% Used as |\setcurriculum|\marg{english}\marg{german}, it sets the name of the curriculum that the student is enroled in.
% The name can be given in English, with \meta{english}, and in German, with \meta{german}.
% Note that the curriculum name does not need to be supplied for all thesis types, since, e.g., doctoral studies do not have a curriculum per se.
% If a title page of one of the languages is not used, the corresponding argument can be left empty.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\settitle}
% Used as |\settitle|\marg{english}\marg{german}, it sets the title of the thesis.
% The title can be given both in an English version, with \meta{english}, and in a German version, with \meta{german}.
% For title pages in a given language, the corresponding title will be used.
% Unused languages can be supplied as empty brackets and it is possible to use the English or German title for both language versions.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setsubtitle}
% Used as |\setsubtitle|\marg{english}\marg{german}, it sets the subtitle of the thesis.
% The same specifications as for |\settitle| apply.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addtitlepage}
% The titlepage can be generated in the following languages (see Section~\ref{sec:user:layout}):
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Command & Options & Description\\
%   \midrule
%   |\addtitlepage|\marg{list} & |english|   & Generates an English title page. \\
%                              & |naustrian| & Generates a German title page. \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
% Note that a non-English title page is not available for a dissertation at the Vienna PhD School of Informatics.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection{Layout}
% \label{sec:user:layout}
%
% Most of the data that is supplied with the commands of the previous sections is used to generate the front matter of the thesis.
% It consists of obligatory items such as the title page(s) and the statement of originality as well as optional items such as the acknowledgements or the abstract in different languages.
% In the remainder of this section, the available items of the front matter are given.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addtitlepage}
% Used as |\addtitlepage|\marg{lang}, where \meta{lang} is the name of a language as given in the |babel| package (see Section~\ref{sec:user:data:list}). The necessary pieces of information have to be set beforehand (as described in Section~\ref{sec:user:data}). This command is usually used directly after |\begin{document}\frontmatter|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addstatementpage}
% Used as |\addstatementpage|, it generates a page with the statement of originality.
%
% \DescribeEnv{acknowledgements}
% \DescribeEnv{acknowledgements*}
% Used as |\begin{acknowledgements}|\meta{text}|\end{acknowledgements}|, this environment generates a chapter with the English acknowledgements. Use the starred version, i.e., |acknowledgements*|, to remove the table of content entry of this environment.
%
% \DescribeEnv{danksagung}
% \DescribeEnv{danksagung*}
% Used as |\begin{danksagung}|\meta{text}|\end{danksagung}|, this environment generates a chapter with the German acknowledgements. Use the starred version, i.e., |danksagung*|, to remove the table of content entry of this environment.
%
% \DescribeEnv{abstract}
% \DescribeEnv{abstract*}
% Used as |\begin{abstract}|\meta{text}|\end{abstract}|, this environment generates a chapter with the English abstract. Use the starred version, i.e., |abstract*|, to remove the table of content entry of this environment.
%
% \DescribeEnv{kurzfassung}
% \DescribeEnv{kurzfassung*}
% Used as |\begin{kurzfassung}|\meta{text}|\end{kurzfassung}|, this environment generates a chapter with the German abstract. Use the starred version, i.e., |kurzfassung*|, to remove the table of content entry of this environment.

% \section{Usage for Class Writers}
% \label{sec:class}
%
% To accomodate shifting requirements, the |vutinfth| class provides various convenience functions that allow the modification and extension of its functionality.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection{Data}
%
% To compose several parts of the thesis layout, input from the thesis author is required.
% For the |vutinfth| class, this is realized by the commands provided in Section~\ref{sec:user:data}.
% Additional data can be defined with the the commands in the remainder of this section.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\CreateData}
% Used as |\CreateData|\marg{name}, it generates a command |\set|\meta{name}.
% Used as |\set|\meta{name}\marg{string}, the newly created command assigns the value \meta{string} to the internal variable |\vutinfth@data@|\meta{name}.
% The variable is initialized with an error value to alert the user of the fact that \meta{string} was not supplied via the |\set|\meta{name} command.
% Furthermore, a command |\vutinfth@data@|\meta{name}|@def| is created, to increase source code readability when verifying the existence of a specific data item.
% See Section~\ref{sec:impl:data:declarations} for examples.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\CreatePerson}
% Used as |\CreatePerson|\marg{name}, it generates a command |\set|\meta{name}.
% Used as |\set|\meta{name}\marg{pretitle}\marg{personname}\marg{posttitle}\marg{gender}, the newly created command assigns the supplied values to the corresponding internal variables |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@|\textellipsis as given in the table below.
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lllc}
%   \toprule
%   Argument & Internal Variable\\
%   \midrule
%                     & |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@def|   \\
%   \meta{pretitle}   & |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@pretitle|  \\
%   \meta{personname} & |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@name|      \\
%   \meta{posttitle}  & |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@posttitle| \\
%   \meta{gender}     & |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@gender|    \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
% The command |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@def| is created to increase source code readability when verifying the existence of a specific person.
% Furthermore, the command |\vutinfth@person@|\meta{name}|@fullname| returns the person's name together with existing titles and correct whitespace in between.
% The person's gender is either |\vutinfth@person@male| or |\vutinfth@person@female|, depending on the input.
% See Section~\ref{sec:impl:data:declarations} for examples.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\AddLanguage}
% Used as |\AddLanguage|\marg{lang}, it enables the language \meta{lang} to by used by polylingual expressions.
% \meta{lang} has to be chosed from the languages of the |babel| package that is used by this class.
% Currently, |vutinfth| uses two languages, i.e., |english| for English expressions and |naustrian| for German expressions.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\CreatePolylingual}
% Used as |\CreatePolylingual|\oarg{expressions}\marg{name}, it generates a command |\vutinfth@polylingual@|\meta{name} that selects the approriate expression based on the current language at the time of use.
% The argument \meta{expressions} is a list of elements of the form \meta{expr$_i$}, where each element defines the expression for a valid language, e.g., \meta{lang$_i$}=\meta{text$_i$}.
% \meta{lang$_i$} has to be chosen from the languages that were defined via |\AddLanguage|.
% As a convention, text that needs to start with an uppercase letter is assigned to a name that starts with an uppercase letter.
% The same holds for uppercase words, e.g.,\\

% \subsection{Layout}
%
% Several key elements in the layout of the frontmatter are encapsulated to allow a convenient extension of this functionality.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\SignatureFields}
% Used as |\SignatureFields|\oarg{mode}\marg{center}\marg{right}, it creates a place and date description and/or one or two signature fields.
% \meta{mode} can be set to |y|, which adds an entry with date and place to the left, to |h|, which adds the corresponding whitespace, or to |n|, which adds nothing.
% If text is supplied to \meta{center}, it is added below a rule, right to the possible date and place entry.
% If text is supplied to \meta{right}, it is added below a rule, right to the possible signature field created by \meta{center}.
% This command ensures a uniform width and positioning of the signature fields on both the title pages and the statement of originality.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\SignatureBlock}
% Used as |\SignatureBlock|, it generates the signature fields for both author and advisor.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ReviewerBlock}
% Used as |\ReviewerBlock|, it generates the signature fields for both reviewers.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\AdvisorBlock}
% Used as |\AdvisorBlock|, it generates the name fields for both the advisor and the potential assistants.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\AddTitlePage}
% Used as |\AddTitlePage|, it generates a title page in the current language.
% This command contains the placement of the header graphics, the footer, the appropriate blocks, etc.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\AddStatementPage}
% Used as |\AddStatementPage|, it generates a chapter with the statement of originality together with the author's signature field.
%
% \DescribeEnv{SFFont}
% Alters the sans serif font inside the environment. Called with one mandatory argument as |\begin{SFFont}|\marg{family}, which determines the sans serif font family that should be used, e.g., |phv| for Helvetica.
