NCARGPATH(8NCARG)

NAME
ncargpath - Return the full pathname to a given NCAR Graphics directory or the default of a particular NCAR Graphics attribute.

SYNOPSIS
ncargpath name

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
