It runs under various (if not all) flavors of Unix with X11 and +M*tif (LessTif or Motif). It also runs under VMS, OS/2, and Windows +(95/98/NT/2000/XP). Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based +programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools +like Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it +combines the convenience of a graphical user interface with the power +of a scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated +calculations or perform automated tasks. + +Grace is derived from Xmgr (a.k.a. ACE/gr), originally written by Paul Turner. + +This requires netcdf and fftw. |
