Installing graphics utilities for Windows PC
Posted: June 10th, 2021, 1:09 pm
HYSPLIT depends on four third-party software programs for graphics. They are tcl/tk, Ghostscript, GSView, and ImageMagick. Before downloading them from their respective websites, please read https://www.ready.noaa.gov/documents/Tu ... l_win.html and https://www.ready.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT_util.php. This is because there are version requirements. Install the programs following the Tutorial.
The Ghostscript, GSView, and ImageMagick programs are installed by executing their corresponding installer programs. This will require administrator privilege so you may need help from your IT department. Once installed they will be at:
C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.52
C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\gsview
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick
The tcl/tk program may be placed to
C:\ActiveTcl (or C:\tcl)
so that C:\ActiveTcl\bin\wish86t.exe is found.
