Install Grace 5.1.25 in Ubuntu Linux 16.04 |
| 00:18 | Open Grace interface |
| 00:21 | Resize the graph area |
| 00:24 | Open an XY dataset file and |
| 00:29 | Make a straight line graph |
| 00:32 | To record this tutorial, I am using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04 |
| 00:40 | Grace version 5.1.25 and |
| 00:44 | A working internet connection to download Grace. |

| 03:02 | This will open the Grace program. |
| 03:05 | Grace opens with an empty graph panel. |
| 03:10 | First, we will learn how to resize the graph panel. |
| 03:14 | There are four small solid squares at the corners of the graph panel. |
| 03:20 | Using the scroll bars, go to the bottom right corner of the graph. |
| 03:26 | Double click on the small black square on the bottom right corner. |
| 03:32 | You may choose any of the corner squares to resize. |
| 03:37 | Now the graph can be resized. |
| 03:40 | The border lines may or may not be visible now. |
| 03:44 | To resize drag and place the cursor at the desired position. |
| 03:50 | Now left click, to fix the size of the graph panel. |
| 03:55 | I will also adjust the scroll bars to see the full graph panel. |
| 04:01 | Now I will show how to plot a graph. |
| 04:05 | To plot the graph, download the line.txt file. |
| 04:10 | The file is provided in the code files link of this tutorial. |
| 04:16 | Extract the file and save it on the Desktop. |
| 04:21 | I have already downloaded and saved it on the Desktop. |
| 04:26 | Double click to open the file in a text editor. |
| 04:30 | First row starts with a hash and is a comment line.
This is a data header. |
| 04:38 | Notice the two column data format. |
| 04:42 | First column is x data and second column is y data. |
| 04:47 | In this data file values are tab separated. |
| 04:51 | Close the file and go back to Grace window. |
| 04:55 | Next, we will load the data on Grace interface to plot a graph. |
| 05:01 | Notice that, the axis limits are from zero to one for both axes. |
| 05:08 | Next, let’s load the data file to make an XY plot. |
| 05:13 | Click on Data tab, Import and select ASCII format. |
| 05:19 | A Grace: Read sets dialog box opens. |
| 05:24 | In the Filter input box change *.dat to *.txt and press Enter. |
| 05:32 | This will show the list of directories and files containing txt extension. |
| 05:39 | From Directories option, select Desktop folder. |
| 05:44 | Select the file line.txt. |
| 05:48 | We will keep Load as Single Set . |
| 04:52 | Select Set Type as XY. |
| 05:55 | By default, Data Source is set to Disk. |
| 05:59 | By default, Auto Scale on read is set to XY. |
| 06:04 | The range of X and Y axes automatically adjusts to lower and higher values of data. |
| 06:13 | Click on the Ok button to load the data. |
| 06:17 | Click on Cancel to close the dialog box. |
| 06:21 | We can see a graph representing the data. |
| 06:25 | X and Y limits on the graph have changed from 0 to 10. |
| 06:31 | Let us save the file. |
| 06:33 | Click on File and select Save. |
| 06:37 | Grace:Save project dialog box opens. |
| 06:42 | Dot agr is the preferred extension for grace plot. |
| 06:47 | I will choose Desktop to save the file. |
| 06:51 | In the Selection text box, type file name as line dot agr. |
| 06:57 | Click on the OK button to save the project. |
