Install

To install:

1. Untar the "cev_graphics_v1.0_RC1.tgz file". Notice there is a "gisdata" link in that directory that defaults to "/dougdata/gisdata". This is because it is preferable that the gisdata folder reside on the local machine where doug is running.
2. Extract the "cev_graphics_dougdata_pack_v1.0_RC1.tgz" (referred to as data pack) somewhere (it is recommended that this be somewhere on the local machine where doug will be run and not on a network path such as a home dir).
3. Modify the gisdata link to point to the location where you extracted the data pack.

That's it. To run, cd into the eng_graphics directory and type "./run_graphics"

To integrate into your sim:

See the instructions in README.sim_integration inside the model pack.
