00:01 | Welcome to the tutorial on Overview of Grace. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about, |
00:11 | The Grace program |
00:14 | The Grace parent website |
00:17 | Online example files and forks |
00:21 | Qtgrace fork website |
00:25 | Grace project file structure and Benefits of Grace |
00:32 | We will also play excerpts of Grace tutorials, available on this website. |
00:40 | To record this tutorial, I am using
Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS |
00:50 | Firefox web browser 70 |
00:53 | Gedit text editor 3.18 and |
00:59 | A working internet connection |
01:02 | To follow this tutorial, Learner should have knowledge of basic Mathematics. |
01:09 | The files used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link. |
01:15 | Please download and use them while practising. |
01:20 | Grace is a graphical 2D plotting program, for graphing and data fitting. |
01:27 | The official website of Grace is shown here. |
01:33 | Open your default web browser and go to the Grace website. |
01:41 | A web page opens. We will learn about the Grace parent website. |
01:47 | Scroll down the page.
Notice the details about Grace in the page. |
01:54 | Go back to the top of the page. |
01:57 | Click on the Gallery link. |
02:00 | From here, we can download several Grace example projects and output files. |
02:07 | I will click on charts.png. |
02:11 | Notice the different types of graphs, Grace can draw for you. |
02:16 | You may pause the video and explore the example files on this page. |
02:22 | They are drawn in various plotting styles. |
02:26 | Go back to the Grace homepage. |
02:29 | Click on the Related projects and links on top of the page. |
02:34 | The page refreshes.
Scroll down the page. |
02:40 | Notice the section, which lists, Projects using Grace as plotting backend. |
02:47 | Many popular science programs are listed in this section. |
02:52 | These programs incorporate Grace for their plotting needs. |
02:57 | Scroll up the page to Forks or Modifications link. |
03:03 | Due to the high popularity of Grace, many forks and modifications are available. |
03:10 | There are several options for the user here. |
03:15 | Windows users may use the QtGrace fork. |
03:20 | Click on the Qtgrace link.
Let’s go to Qtgrace website. |
03:27 | QtGrace can be downloaded from this site. |
03:31 | Qtgrace is a fork of Grace with Nokia Qt SDK tools. |
03:38 | This is a developer tool with the ability to create applications for various OS. |
03:45 | QtGrace has a few added features compared to it’s parent, Grace. |
03:51 | Now let’s open a Grace project file. |
03:55 | Go to Desktop. Notice the file, line.agr. |
04:01 | This is a Grace project file. |
04:04 | This file is provided to you in the Code files link of this tutorial. |
04:10 | Open this file using a text editor. |
04:14 | I will open the file in gedit text editor. |
04:19 | Windows users may use notepad or wordpad software. |
04:25 | The graph projects are written in a text format by Grace. |
04:30 | Scroll down to view the project file. |
04:33 | Grace project files are written in a simple text format. |
04:38 | Hence, the projects files can be made programmatically, without the Grace GUI. |
04:45 | Close the file by clicking on the x sign. |
04:49 | Who can use Grace. |
04:52 | Teachers & students can use Grace for various types of data analysis. |
05:00 | Students can analyse, laboratory generated data or for data fitting. |
05:07 | Teachers may analyse student statistics on marks or attendance. |
05:14 | There are several benefits of using Grace. |
05:18 | Grace is widely used by the scientific community. |
05:22 | The graph can be incorporated programmatically. |
