Configuration files


Introduction

Configurable settings in Bodil are obtained from config-files. Architecture-dependent settings override all other settings and are in common directory. User settings override global settings. The user config-files must be placed in user's own directory (usually ~/.Bodil). The name of the file(s) is not important as long as they have the extension .conf. The file can have comment lines, which start with # and empty lines. Each section starts with the section name in brackets [sectionname]. Each section has one or more settings. Each setting is in its own line, starting with key, some whitespace, equal sign (=), some whitespace, and value.

Colormaps and DataFiles use different formats and in general, a file in users directory is used instead of global file with same name.
