S-Lang Grace Plotting Module

Grace (formerly Xmgr) is a popular plotting program for Unix that features a GUI for WYSIWYG generation of publication quality 2-D graphs. The grace-module provides a high-level, object-oriented interface between the S-Lang interpreter and the Grace plotting application. Plotting via the module from S-Lang applications such as slsh can be as easy as:

    slsh> g = grace_new();
    slsh> g.plot(x,y;color="blue");
    slsh> g.save("myplot.ps");

As this simple example suggests, the module also supports multiple Grace instances.

The figure at the top of this page was created using the grace-module. See the tutorial for step by step instructions for the creation of this plot.
