Description of NCAR Graphics environment variables
Synopsis
What follows is an alphabetical list of all the NCAR Graphics
environment variables and what they mean.

- If set, indicates where some of the NCAR
Graphics examples are installed. This environment variable takes
precedence over NCARG_ROOT and doesn't need to be set unless
you want to override the default ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/examples).

This environment variable takes
precedence over NCARG_ROOT and doesn't need to be set unless
