NAME

7       or the default of a particular NCAR Graphics attribute.

SYNOPSIS

10       ncargpath name
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ncargpath has one argument which is the shortened name of the directory
14       whose  full  pathname  you  want  returned or the name of the attribute
15       whose default value you want.  It is  used  by  several  NCAR  Graphics
16       scripts to find the pathname to certain installables.  For example, the
17       script ncargex uses ncargpath to determine  where  the  directory  that
18       contains  all  the  examples is installed.  The following arguments are
19       recognized:
20
