+Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical
+data. It runs under various (if not all) flavors of Unix with X11 and
+M*tif (LessTif or Motif). It also runs under VMS, OS/2, and Windows
+(95/98/NT/2000/XP). Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based
+programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools
+like Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it
+combines the convenience of a graphical user interface with the power
+of a scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated
+calculations or perform automated tasks.
+
+Grace is derived from Xmgr (a.k.a. ACE/gr), originally written by Paul Turner.
+
+This requires netcdf and fftw.
