I think one of the most powerful features of xmgrace is that it allows you to quickly do mathematical operations on your data sets. Say you imported a bunch of energies in Ry but want to show them in kcal/mol. You can quickly multiply all your data by the conversion factor between Ry and kcal/mol. The quickest way to get started manipulating your data through addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is under Data>Transformations>Evaluate expression.

I have exactly the same problem, but when I try to do your suggestion it's said "sudo: port: command not found". Even I have tried to uninstall it with "sudo make uninstall" it is said "make: * No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.". I don't know what else I can do. I need to be able to use xmgrace.

We have a series of menu and some buttons, mainly for autoscale and zooming/moving options. If you have not save an actual xmgrace file, you need to import your data from the menu' data->import->ascii: select the file and the type (xy, nxy o block data; in the latter case, you will ask which column to import).

I was getting crazy to import in a word processor a plot made with xmgrace. The problem was that the plot was in landscape format, while was imported as portrait. That resulted, no matter what I was doing, in a truncated plot. Uncle google gives me a nice and complete idea. For me, was enough just use the utility convert from Imagemagick to rotate of 90 the plot saved by xmagrace (in eps in my case). The code is the following:

Once downloaded from the web site indicated in Table 2, please install the dmg package as usual on macOS. The qtgrace.app will be available as an standard application in the /Applications folder. However, SAS is not prepared to work with it but with something named xmgrace, available from the command line. Then you must create the xmgrace command line application by executing the following commands from a standard terminal:

Some applications on the HPC clusters have a GUI or graphical user interface. These include Firefox, xterm, eog, ncview, nsys-ui, DDT, xmgrace, gnuplot and many more. Below we discuss multiple methods for working with GUI applications.

If you are more comfortable with Microsoft Office, you can also plot the contents of .xvg files using Excel. Start Excel, choose File->Open, and select All Files (*.*) in the lower right corner of the dialog. Select a .xvg file and press Open. The text import wizard should start. How is the XVG class used in xmgrace?The class XVG encapsulates access to such files and adds a number of methods to access the data (as NumPy arrays), compute aggregates, or quickly plot it. The XVG class is useful beyond reading xvg files. With the array keyword or the XVG.set () method one can load data from an array instead of a file. What is the file format for Gromacs XVG?GROMACS (GROningen MAchine for Chemical Simulations) is a molecular dynamics package designed for simulations of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. It is free, open source software released under the GNU General Public License. The file format used by GROMACS is XVG. How do I import a.xvg file into Excel?

LaTeXBibTexOctave (MATLAB clone, super awesome!!) for crunching data and graphingGnuplotXcircuit for drawing schematics (free as in speech)Eagle for drawing schematics (free as in beer)Another important task for me is automated data taking. I use Perl with GPIB modules to control programmable lab instruments. For me, this is vastly better than using LabView which is proprietary, and in my opinion damaging to the brain of any real programmer. :-)LaTeX is utterly, completely, and totally superior to Word for technical writing. You can't make a Word document too long before you start getting all kinds of problems with graphs mysteriously jumping around, images not scaling properly, table of contents not building correctly, etc. With LaTeX you get exactly what you want and once you've had a bit of practice you can write very quickly.I took a lab course last semester where the professor did all his handouts in Word. Most of the graphs were anti-aliased to the point that they were barely legible (bad rasterization?) and there were lots of weird formatting quirks. He had no way to generate an index for the 100-page lab manual. Me and other LaTeX-using students would hand in perfectly formatted 30 page reports with flawless graphs and schematics and he'd look on enviously... xmgrace Posted Jan 19, 2006 8:24 UTC (Thu) by vblum (guest, #1151) [Link]

A number of new functionalities have been added to export band structures to a number of formats, including: gnuplot, matplotlib (both to export a python file, and directly PNG or PDF; both with support of LaTeX typesetting and not); JSON; improved agr (xmgrace) output. Also support for two-color bands for collinear magnetic systems. Added also possibility to specify export-format-specific parameters. 2ff7e9595c
