Changing the GUI Display
By default the McIDAS-X GUI uses the default attributes listed in the table below. You can change the default arguments and other Tcl/Tk settings by creating a file with any text editor called .mcguirc file. You must name the file .mcguirc or the McIDAS-X GUI will not display your changes. After you create the file, store the file in a directory that is named in the MCPATH environment variable. See Appendix G, MCPATH for more information. The Tcl/Tk User's Guide provides more information about the attributes you can change.
