Appendix I
Configuration-parameter Descriptions

This appendix describes some of the makemap configuration parameters that are more likely to be of interest to a typical user. Thus parameters relating to experimental or deprecated features, or features that should not normally need to be changed, are not included here. For a complete list of all available configturation parameters, see SUN/258.

• The “SMURF Usage” section of each description lists the Smurfcommands that accept the parameter. This does not mean that all the listed commands actually use the parameter—it just means that any commands not in the list will report an error if the parameter is supplied.
• The default value for each parameter is shown in square brackets at the end of the description. These default values are defined in the file $SMURF_DIR/smurf_makemap.def and are the values that are used for any parameters that are not assigned a value within the configuration file supplied to makemap. In other words, any parameter values supplied within a configuration file will be used instead of these default values.
