Environment Variables

This is intended to be a comprehensive list of all the environment variables in S2PLOT as well as a description of how they are used. For the relevant version of the environment variables for your S2PLOT installation, see the ENVIRONMENT.TXT file that came with the distribution.

Required (Build-related)

S2PATH: full path to S2PLOT directory

Recommended (Build-related)

S2ARCH: Operating system, compiler and architecture specification for

       compiling and linking S2PLOT programs.  Valid options are as 
       follows.  If not set, s2plot.csh attempts to figure out S2ARCH,
       but may fail to do so.
       Darwin users with PowerPC architecture should generally choose
       darwin-gnu-ppc over darwin-gnu-univ.
       Darwin users with Intel architecture should generally choose
       darwin-gnu-i386 over darwin-gnu-univ.
       Windows users must install Cygwin to use S2PLOT.

                             Sun (openwin) GLU and GL libs
               Distributed:  shared and static libraries
                             dynamic binaries
               FORTRAN extension: .f


S2SHARED: Set to "no" or "yes" to indicate preference for static or

         dynamic linking of binaries.


OPTIONAL (BUILD-RELATED)

S2FREEGLUT: Set to "no" or "yes" to choose whether the re-entrant

           "s2disp" function will be used on Linux systems that use
           the freeglut library.  NB. only works on Linux systems with 
           freeglut version >= 2.2.0.


S2FREETYPE: Set to "no" or "yes" to choose whether the freetype2

           extensions will be linked in with programs.
           Freetype2 is assumed to be installed in the following 
           base directories:
               Mac OS X: /usr/X11R6 (ie. installed with Apple X)
               Linux:    /usr
               Cygwin:   /usr
           If you have freetype2 installed somewhere else you may need
           to modify your s2plot.csh or ${S2ARCH}.in file.

S2MESHLIB: Only set this if recommended by your MirrorDome supplier.


OPTIONAL (RUNTIME-RELATED)

S2PATH: full path to S2PLOT directory

S2PLOT_WIDTH: Provide initial width (in pixels) of S2PLOT display

             windows.  If not given, width is by default 800 pixels.

S2PLOT_HEIGHT: Provide initial height (in pixels) of S2PLOT display

              windows.  If not given, height is by default 3/4 of
              width.

S2PLOT_MESHFILE: Only set this if recommended by your MirrorDome

                supplier.

S2PLOT_DEV: Set this to choose your default S2PLOT output device.

           Only relevant when programs specify an empty device string,
           or prompt on the terminal for the device choice.

S2PLOT_TEXPATH: Set this to provide an "external" path to texture files,

               colormap files and LaTeX template files.  When using 
               textures / colormaps / LaTeX templates in S2PLOT, the 
               following strategy is used to find named files:
               1. if name begins with "." or "/", look for the precisely
                  named file and nowhere else.
               OTHERWISE
               2. first look in the current working directory
                  then look in $S2PLOT_TEXPATH if it is defined
                  then look in $S2PATH/textures
               3. on failure:
                    for textures: load a "red X" texture for use
                    for colormaps: load a colormap that has three colors
                                   (red, green then blue)
                                   (red, green then blue)
                    for LaTeX templates: fail on LaTeX generation and
                                         load a "red X" texture for use

S2PLOT_LATEXBIN: Set this to the fully-qualified path of the LaTeX binary

                (latex) if you want to use LaTeX features in S2PLOT.
                If your latex binary is in a standard path location, eg.
                /usr/bin, then this won't be necessary.

S2PLOT_DVIPNGBIN: Set this to the fully-qualified path of the DVI to PNG

                 conversion binary (dvipng) if you want to use LaTeX
                 features in S2PLOT.  If your dvipng binary is in a 
                 standard path location, eg. /usr/bin, then this won't
                 be required.

S2PLOT_IMPATH: Set this to the path containing your ImageMagick binaries.

              Without this setting, texturise script/s and LaTeX support
              may fail silently.

S2PLOT_FADETIME: Set this to control the fade-in and fade-out time (in

                seconds) of S2PLOT programs.  The default is to fade-in 
                and fade-out over approximately 0.2 seconds.

S2PLOT_RUNTIME: If set, S2PLOT programs will be forcibly quit after this

               period in seconds.  The S2PLOT_RUNTIME period *does not*
               include the S2PLOT_FADETIME period at start and end of
               the program.

S2PLOT_EVENTFILE:

               If set, this is the name of a file containing events that
               are pushed into the S2PLOT event stream.  Currently only
               simple (ASCII code) keypresses are supported.  Zero time
               commences at the end of the fade-in time.

S2PLOT_X1, S2PLOT_X2, S2PLOT_Y1, S2PLOT_Y2:

               In range [0,1], these environment variables can be used
               to constrain the area of screen used for S2PLOT graphics.
               Typically these would be used in concert with S2PLOT_BGIMG
               to provide a full-screen background image, eg. from 
               Powerpoint, then draw S2PLOT graphics in only a particular 
               region.

S2PLOT_BGIMG: Filename of a background image to use instead of clearing

               the screen.

S2PLOT_INTERSCANBUMP:

               If scan-line interleaved stereo is being used, bump the
               first line down the screen by one row, thus flipping the 
               left and right lines in the display.  Only useful when 
               fullscreen windows are being created, or windows are known
               to be created at a particular position on the screen.
