The distribution contains a file called cplot_config_. You should rename this file cplot_config the first time you install C-PLOT. Each time C-PLOT starts it reads in the values of a number of variables from the file cplot_config. You may wish to customize these parameters for your installation.

Name   Default   Explanation   BAUD   2400   Baud rate of pen plotter; can be argument to in command   CFLAGS   -O   Compiler flags for user functions1   CLIBS   -lm -ltermlib   Libraries to be linked with user functions1   DEVICE   /dev/plotter   Default device for pen plotter; can be argument to in command   FILTER   x11   Initial graphics filter; can be argument to zi command1   FILTER1   x11   Same as FILTER1   FILTER2   testfilter   Initial second graphics filter1   GPIB   0   Nonzero if plotter is on GPIB interface   NPTS   8,192   Maximum number of in-core points2

1Defaults vary depending on the platform.

2Additional data points (up to 65,635) are retained in temporary files. (An unlimited numbers of points may be plotted.)

Edit the file by hand if you want to make changes. Values in a .cplot_init file in a user home directory take precedence over values in the cplot_config file. Not all the variables need be set in each file. The value used for a variable is the one obtained from the last file read.
