General Remarks

  1. While reading this steering data file the dictionary file ncplot_dico.dat will be automatically accessed in directory $PROGHOME/dic/ to support input.

    • colors.cfg.dat: File with definitions of colors.
    • palettes.cfg.dat: File with references to files with color palette definitions.
    • bounds.cfg.dat: File with interval definitions for legends.
      Hint: The bounds file should be better stored within a project in the working directory.
