Preferences</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Allows the user to customize the appearance and behavior of
the GUI . Please note: some preferences take effect immediately, while
others require DS9 to be restarted. Changes to the preferences can be
saved by selecting the <tt>Save</tt> button<tt>. </tt>Use the <tt>Clear
Preferences </tt>button to restore
default
settings.</p>
<p>User preferences are stored in <tt>.ds9.prf</tt>. DO NOT
EDIT this file, since it will be deleted or overwritten by DS9. At
startup time, DS9 will
search for a preferences file in the following directories, in order, <tt>./,
$HOME, /usr/local/lib, /opt/local/lib</tt>. </p>
<p>Users may have several different preference files. DS9 looks for a
preference file with its own name. By default, if the application is
named <tt>ds9</tt>, it will look for <tt>.ds9.prf.</tt> However, if
the DS9 application is named <tt>foo</tt>, then DS9 will look for <tt>.foo.prf.</tt>
In this manner, the user can have several predefined preference files
that are activated by invoking DS9 with a different application names. </p>
