\title{A Template File For Drawing The Plots}
\date{}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
This document is a template file that contains necessary macro definitions for drawing the plots and tables (Figures 2--4 and Tables 3 and 4) in the paper. \textbf{It is highly recommended to compile this file using Overleaf, based on which the document is tested.}

\section{Box Plots}
If you want to draw the box plots in the paper, you must use the executable, namely \verb|evaluation.jar|, as follows to generate the box plot data:
\begin{verbatim}
java -jar evaluation.jar -function=boxplot -result=<path-to-result> -output=<output-file>
\end{verbatim}
where \verb|<path-to-result>| points to the folder containing the results of threshold estimation, and \verb|<output-file>| refers to the location where the output is to be written.
Afterwards, you will find the box plot code in the output file.
Please copy the content between \verb|Boxplot data starts here| and \verb|Boxplot data ends here| to \verb|blank-1| in Figure \ref{fig:boxploat} and you will see the plots after compilation.
\textbf{Note that you may have to adjust the plot sizes and add line breaks to make the plots look better.}

\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
    %% blank-1 starts
    \verb|copy the box plot code here|
    %% blank-1 ends
    \caption{Box Plots}
    \label{fig:boxploat}
\end{figure}

\section{Threshold Tables}
The output file that is produced in the previous section also contains the latex code to draw the threshold tables.
We may copy the tables between \verb|Threshold data starts here| and \verb|Threshold data ends here| to \verb|blank-2| below.
\textbf{Note that you may have to add line breaks between tables to make them look better.}

    %% blank-2 starts
    \verb|copy the table code here|
    %% blank-2 ends

\section{Bar Plots}
If you want to draw the bar plots in the paper, you must use the executable, namely \verb|evaluation.jar|, as follows to generate the box plot data:
\begin{verbatim}
java -jar evaluation.jar -function=barplot -result=<path-to-result> -output=<output-file>
\end{verbatim}
where \verb|<path-to-result>| points to the folder containing the comparison results of model matchers, and \verb|<output-file>| refers to the location where the output is to be written.
Afterwards, you will find the bar plot code in the output file.
Please copy the content between \verb|Barplot data starts here| and \verb|Barplot data ends here| to \verb|blank-3| in Figure \ref{fig:barploat} and you will see the plots after compilation.
\textbf{Note that you may have to adjust the plot sizes to make the plots look better and for each dataset, you must repeat this procedure to obtain one bar plot.}

\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
    %% blank-3 starts
    \verb|copy the bar plot code here|
    %% blank-3 ends
    \caption{Bar Plot}
    \label{fig:barploat}
\end{figure}
