grace - command line interface

Grace is derived from ACE/gr (a.k.a Xmgr ) written by Paul  J  Turner.  From  version  number  4.00,  the
       development was taken over by a team of volunteers under the coordination of Evgeny Stambulchik.

       The best way to submit a bug report is using the "Help/Comments" menu entry.  Alternatively, see the home
       page.

       Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of scientific data.

GRACE_HOME
              Specifies the directory where the Grace docs and libs are stored. Default is /usr/local/graceGRACE_HELPVIEWER
              The  shell  command to run an HTML viewer for on-line browsing of the help documents. Must include
              at least one instance of "%s" which will be replaced with the actual  URL  by  Grace.  Default  is
              mozilla%sGRACE_EDITOR
              Specifies the editor which is used to edit sets. Default is xterm-eviGRACE_PRINT_CMD
              The print command.

       GRACE_FFTW_RAM_WISDOM
              and  GRACE_FFTW_WISDOM_FILE  A  flag (0 or 1) and a file name which determine whether a FFT should
              use `wisdom' when using the FFTW libraries.

       In many cases, when Grace needs to access a file given with a relative pathname, it searches for the file
       along the following path:
        ./pathname:./.grace/pathname:~/.grace/pathname:$GRACE_HOME/pathname

       The following files are of a special importance:

       gracerc - init file loaded upon start up.

       templates/Default.agr - the default template, loaded whenever a new project is started.

       fonts/FontDataBase - the file responsible for font configuration.
