xrec is using a dictionary to define the title, unit (including a multiplication factor) and contour intervals for each variable.
The name of the dictionary is:
~/.recrc
It needs to have exactly this name and it needs to be in your home. To have a dictionary to start from you are welcome to take a copy of mine ( cp ~winger/.recrc ~/. ) or ask a college if you can copy hers/his.
You can find more information about this dictionary by clicking on the following link: xrec-dictionary
Remove default contour lines
The first time you open any field with xrec you will see there are "Colors" and "Contours". If you do not want to have "Contours" by default (you can always add or remove them later) do the following:
- Open xrec with any file
- Click on "Display" and unselect "Contours"
- Click on "File" and on "Quit and save configuration"
- Open xrec with any file again
- Select any file. If the contours are gone, you did the above correctly. If the background is now gray and you would like to have a white one again...
- Click on "Options" and "Contours" - a new window will open. In that window...
- Click on "Background" and select "Color:" "white"
- Click on "File" and on "Quit and save configuration"
The next time you open xrec the default contour lines should be back and the background should be white again.
