May 13, 2007 I am a new user of Ubuntu and I am trying to install Xmgrace. Could somebody tell how to install it? Thanks Bruno Adv Reply. May 16th, 2007 #2. The usual data-format for Grace/xmgrace is an ascii-file with tabs as column-separators and new-lines as row-sparators. But if you are using dates or time this will not work nevertheless. If you want I can upload the current development-version of QtGrace that is very capable of reading files of differnt formats via simple drag and drop. 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. Interactive Graphic and command-line 2D plotting software. Xmgrace is the current development of the program formally known as xmgr. Instructions for Use. On the Suns: The executables are located in /usr/local/bin. To run type: xmgrace. (or xmgr) On the SGIs: The executable is located in /usr/freeware/bin.

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.
