It runs +under various (if not all) flavours of UNIX with X11 and Motif. 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. |
