SYNOPSIS

9       What  follows is an alphabetical list of all the NCAR Graphics environ‐
10       ment variables and what they mean.
11
12       NCARG_BIN, if set, indicates  where  the  NCAR  Graphics  binaries  are
13       installed.   This environment variable takes precedence over NCARG_ROOT
14       and doesn't need to be set unless you  want  to  override  the  default
15       ($NCARG_ROOT/bin).
16
17       NCARG_CONFIG,  if  set, indicates where the NCAR Graphics configuration
18       files are installed (these are needed by site installers  only).   This
19       environment  variable takes precedence over NCARG_ROOT and doesn't need
20       to   be   set   unless   you   want    to    override    the    default
21       ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/config).
22
23       NCARG_DATA,  if  set,  indicates  where  the NCAR Graphics example data
24       files are installed.  This environment variable takes  precedence  over
25       NCARG_ROOT  and  doesn't need to be set unless you want to override the
26       default ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/data).
27
28       NCARG_DATABASE, if set, indicates  where  the  NCAR  Graphics  database
29       files  are  installed.  This environment variable takes precedence over
30       NCARG_ROOT and doesn't need to be set unless you want to  override  the

34       mentation is installed.  This  environment  variable  takes  precedence
35       over  NCARG_ROOT and doesn't need to be set unless you want to override

58       ate binary encoded CGM rather than NCGM (the NCAR private  encoding  of
59       binary encoded CGM).
60
61       NCARG_GKS_OUTPUT  allows you to specify what file or process CGM output
62       is directed to.
