If you are looking for xmgrace, you have come to the right place. We explain what xmgrace is and point you to the official download. Every day, users submit information to File.org about which programs they use to open specific types of files. Grace is a free WYSIWYG 2D graph plotting tool, for Unix-like operating systems.The package name stands for 'GRaphing, Advanced Computation and Exploration of data.' Grace uses the X Window System and Motif for its GUI.

Name

Colors for XMGrace. Here is a 16 color palette for XMGrace that looks significantly more pleasant than the default colors: @map color 0 to (255, 255, 255), 'white' @map color 1 to (0, 0, 0), 'black' @map color 2 to (228, 26, 28), 'red' @map color 3 to (55, 126, 184), 'blue' @map color 4 to (77, 175, 74), 'green' @map color 5 to (152, 78, 163. About: GRACE (GRaphing, Advanced Computation and Exploration of data) is a WYSIWYG 2D plotting tool (a descendant of and replacement for ACE/gr respectively xmgr). Fossies Dox: grace-5.1.25.tar.gz ('inofficial' and yet experimental doxygen-generated source code documentation).

Xmgrace is the wysiwyg version on linux side that also uses grace as a backend. Qtgrace is a native windows application that uses QT in similar fashion than Xmgrace uses X and motif.

[ option | filename ]...

Options

-autoscalex|y|xy|none

Set autoscale type
-barebones
Turn off all toolbars
-batchfile
Execute batch file on start up (i.e., after all other options have been processed and the UI initialized)
-blockfile
Assume the data file is block data
-bxyx:y:etc.
Form a set from the current block data set using the current set type from columns given in the argument
-datehintiso|european|us|days|seconds|nohint
Set the hint for dates analysis
-dpipedescriptor
Read data from descriptor on startup
-fixedwidth height
Set canvas size fixed to width*height
-free

Use free page layout

-graphnumber
Set the current graph number
-graphtypetype
Set the type of the current graph
-hardcopy

-netcdffile
Assume data file is in netCDF format. This option is present only if the netCDF support was compiled in
-netcdfxyX_var Y_var
If -netcdf was used previously, read from the netCDF file X_var and Y_var variables and create a set. If X_var is 'null' then load the index of Y to X. Thisoption is present only if the netCDF support was compiled in
-noask

Assume the answer is yes to all requests, if the operation would overwrite a file, grace will do so without prompting

Resources

When run in the GUI mode, the interface is a subject to X resource settings.

Environment

GRACE_HOME

mozilla %s
GRACE_EDITOR
Specifies the editor which is used to edit sets. Default is xterm -e vi
GRACE_PRINT_CMD
The print command.
GRACE_FFTW_RAM_WISDOM
and GRACE_FFTW_WISDOM_FILE A flag (0 or 1) and a file name which determine whether a FFT should use 'wisdom' when using the FFTWlibraries.

Files

In many cases, when Grace needs to access a file given with a relative pathname, it searches for the file along the following path:./pathname:./.grace/pathname:~/.grace/pathname:$GRACE_HOME/pathname

The following files are of a special importance:

Xmgrace mac

gracerc - init file loaded upon start up.

templates/Default.agr - the default template, loaded whenever a new project is started.

Xmgrace

fonts/FontDataBase - the file responsible for font configuration.
