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               Directory where NCAR Graphics man pages are installed.

       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.
