Prior to modifying the configuration file, users are advised to make a copy of the default:

cp $MET_BASE/config/PlotModeFieldConfig_default $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/config/PlotModeFieldConfig_tutorial

Open up the $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/config/PlotModeFieldConfig_tutorial file for editing with the text editor of your choice.

  • In the plot_info dictionary, set output_directory = "${MET_TUTORIAL_DATA}/output/plot_mode_field";
    To output the PNG file to the plot_mode_field output directory.
