% Revision: 07-25-2007
% Revision History
% 07-10-2008 : Corrected Alignment of signature boxes on Masters/PhD Approval page
% 07-25-2007 : Corrected some spelling errors
% 05-16-2006 : Added etd option and moved most packages from class file to template
% 05-15-2006 : Initial version.
%
% Known bugs
% Having a tiny bit of the abstract spill to second page defeats page number removal.
% Workaround: make the abstract a little longer or a little shorter.
%
% The BYUPhys class is for producing theses and dissertations
% in the BYU department of physics and astronomy. You can supply
% the following optional arguments in the square brackets to
% specify the thesis type:
%
% senior : Produces the senior thesis preliminary pages (default)
% honors : Produces the honors thesis preliminary pages
% masters : Produces the masters thesis preliminary pages
% phd : Produces the PhD dissertation preliminary pages
%
% The default format is appropriate for printing, with blank pages
% inserted after the preliminary pages in twoside mode so you can
% send it directly to a two-sided printer. However, for ETD
% submission the blank pages need to be removed from the final output.
% The following option does this:
%
% etd : Produces an electronic copy with no blank pages in the preliminary section
%
% The rest of the class options are the same as the regular book class.
% A few to remember:
%
% oneside : Produces single sided print layout (recommended for theses less than 50 pages)
% twoside : Produces single sided print layout (the default if you remove oneside)
%
% The BYUPhys class provides the following macros:
%
% \makepreliminarypages : Makes the preliminary pages
% \clearemptydoublepage : same as \cleardoublepage but doesn't put page numbers
% on blank intervening pages
% \singlespace : switch to single spaced lines
% \doublespace : switch to double spaced lines

% Redefine above commands if etd option is specified. The blank pages make printing nice,

% ------------------------ Load the class and needed packages ---------------------------------
% Load the book class
\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{book}}
\ProcessOptions\relax
\LoadClass[letterpaper,12pt]{book}
% The afterpage package is required to make single sided formal pages
% in a double sided environment
\RequirePackage{afterpage}
% Note: the hyperref package is required to make an appropriate ETD.
% However, we don't require it here since it is supposed to be the last
% package loaded and students may want to load other packages in the
% main tex file. So that this class file doesn't crash if the student
% forgets to load hyperref, we have used the following commands below:
%
% \providecommand\phantomsection{}
% \providecommand\pdfbookmark[3][]{}
%
% These commands provide dummy versions of the macros, but won't
% bother the real versions if the hyperref package is loaded in the
% tex file.
% ---------------------------- main code ----------------------------
% Set the margins to BYU specifications for the single sided preliminary
% pages. At the end of the \makepreliminarypages command we fix the margins
% to be appropriate alternating values for double sided printing (if selected).
% If the \makepreliminarypages macro is not run, this never gets fixed.
