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
- Directory where NCAR Graphics include files are installed.
- lib
- Directory where NCAR Graphics libraries are installed.
- man

- ncarg
- Root directory where NCAR Graphics examples, databases,
resource files, etc. are installed.
- nclex
- Directory where NCAR Graphics NCL examples are installed.
- ngwww
- Directory where NCAR Graphics HTML files are installed (if they
were installed).
- ngurl
- URL for the NCAR Graphics documentation.
- resfiles
- Directory where resource files for the NCL and HLU examples are
installed.
- root
- Parent directory where NCAR Graphics is installed.
- sysappres
- Directory where the NCAR Graphics systems application resource
file is installed.
- sysresfile
- Directory where the NCAR Graphics system resource file is
installed.
