Description

Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of scientific data.

Synopsis

grace [ option | filename ]...
xmgrace [ option | filename ]...
gracebat [ option | filename ]...

Options

-autoscalex|y|xy|none

Set autoscale type

-barebones

Turn off all toolbars

-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

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

-seedvalue

Integer seed for random number generator

-settypexy|xydx|...

Set the type of the next data file

-sourcedisk|pipe

Source type of next data file

-timerdelay

-version

Xmgrace Mac

Show the program version, registered devices and build time configuration information.

-viewportxmin ymin xmax ymax

Set the viewport for the current graph

-wdpath

Set the working directory

-worldxmin ymin xmax ymax

Set the world coordinates for the current graph

Resources

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

Environment

GRACE_HOME

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:

gracerc - init file loaded upon start up.

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

fonts/FontDataBase - the file responsible for font configuration.
