grace is an plotting tool for workstations or X-terminals using X. A few of
its features are:
* User defined scaling, tick marks, labels, symbols, line styles, colors.
* Batch mode for unattended plotting.
* Read and write parameters used during a session.
* Polynomial regression, splines, running averages, DFT/FFT,
cross/auto-correlation.
* Hardcopy support for PostScript, HP-GL, and FrameMaker .mif format.
While grace has a convenient point-and-click interface, most parameter settings
and operations are available through a command line interface (found in
Data/Commands).
grace is the successor of the well known xmgr plotting tool!
Known PROBLEMS:
- GD-1.3 library of Thomas Boutell:
* patterned fills of ellipses make Grace crash
* complex polygons are filled incorrectly sometimes
- PDFlib-0.6 library of Thomas Merz
* patterned fills are not implemented
* bitmapped text strings are not transparent
