DESCRIPTION¶

ncargpath has one argument which is the shortened name of the directory whose full pathname you want returned or the name of the attribute whose default value you want. It is used by several NCAR Graphics scripts to find the pathname to certain installables. For example, the script ncargex uses ncargpath to determine where the directory that contains all the examples is installed. The following arguments are recognized:

bin

Directory where NCAR Graphics binaries are installed.

config

Directory where NCAR Graphics configuration files are installed.

data

Directory where NCAR Graphics HLU and NCL example data files are installed.

database

Directory where NCAR Graphics databases (like the Ezmap database) are installed.

doc

Directory where NCAR Graphics PostScript documents are installed.

examples

Directory where NCAR Graphics LLU Fortran and C examples are installed.

fontcap

The default fontcap being used; only returns a valid fontcap if the environment variable FONTCAP is set.

fontcaps

Directory where NCAR Graphics fontcaps are installed.

gks_output

The default name of the metafile.

graphcap

The default graphcap being used; only returns a valid graphcap if the environment variable GRAPHCAP is set.

graphcaps

Directory where NCAR Graphics graphcaps are installed.

hluex

Directory where NCAR Graphics HLU Fortran and C examples are installed.

include

Directory where NCAR Graphics include files are installed.

lib
