|-
|| 00:21
|| Resize the graph area

|-
|| 00:24
|| Open an XY dataset file and

|-
|| 00:29

|-
|| 00:32
|| To record this tutorial, I am using

Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04

|-
|| 00:40
|| Grace version 5.1.25 and

|-

|-
|| 00:49
|| To follow this tutorial,

Learners should be familiar with basic computer and Internet skills.

|-
|| 00:56
|| Let us now install Grace program in Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04.

|-
|| 01:03
|| This is the official website of '''Grace'''.

|-
|| 01:07
|| First I will demonstrate to install '''Grace''' using the '''Terminal'''.

|-
|| 01:13
|| Internet connectivity is required to install the software.

|-
|| 01:18
|| Press the windows key on keyboard.

|-
|| 01:22
|| Type terminal in the search box that appears and press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| 01:28
|| A '''terminal''' window opens.

|-
|| 01:31
|| At the prompt, type '''sudo space apt hyphen get space update''' and press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| 01:41
|| If prompted for '''sudo password''', type the password and press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| 01:48
||This step updates the available packages from the Internet sources.

|-
|| 01:54
||This process takes a few seconds to complete.

|-
||01:58
||Clear the terminal.

|-
|| 02:01
|| Next, type '''sudo space apt-get space install space grace'''.

Press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| 02:12
|| This process takes sometime to complete and installs '''Grace''' in your computer.

|-
|| 02:19
|| The process may exit without installing grace with lock error.

Then, see the installation sheet for further help.

|-
||02:30
||Clear the terminal.

|-
|| 02:33
|| To open '''Grace''' using the Terminal, at prompt type '''xmgrace''' and press '''Enter'''.

'''Grace''' window opens.

|-
|| 02:43
|| Click on the '''X''' button on the top-left corner to close the window.

|-
|| 02:48
|| Now I will show how to open '''Grace''' using '''Search your computer''' option.

|-
|| 02:54
|| Press the windows key on the keyboard.

|-
|| 02:57
|| In the search box, that appears, type '''grace''' and press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| 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.

|-
|| 07:01
|| To exit Grace, click on '''File, Exit''' or press '''control q''' on keyboard.

|-
|| 07:09
