+Several [[../nclparlist|parameters]] can be steered to change the output of the plots. They can be either written in the prompt, modified within the configuration file {{{.ncl.config.default}}} or both. \\\\
+When the PALM NCL scripts are used for the first time, the [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/.hluresfile|.hluresfile]] is copied to the home directory. It changes NCL's default graphical display and enlarges the height and width of the default x11 window. This file can also be modified to change other default settings. Further information are available [[http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/hlures.shtml|here]].

 == Using {{{.ncl.config}}} == 
 It is recommended to create a personal configuration file by copying the default configuration file {{{.ncl.config.default}}} to the PALM working directory {{{~/palm/current_version}}} and naming it {{{.ncl.config.}}} It is used by NCL directly. So, the [[../nclparlist|parameters]] have to be written in {{{.ncl.config}}} according to the rules of the scripting language NCL (see [[http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclDataTypes.shtml|NCL data types]]). The configuration file contains all steering [[../nclparlist|parameters]] with a short description and can be modified to personal needs.
