## Historique du projet et usages
Grace is a WYSIWYG two-dimensional plotting tool for numerical data on X11 and Motif-style Unix desktops. It belongs to the scientific-graphics lineage where a graphical plotting program also exposes a command language for automated and reproducible plotting.
### Historique du projet
The official FAQ and user guide identify Grace as derived from Xmgr, also known as ACE/gr, originally written by Paul Turner. Development from version 4.00 was taken over by a volunteer team coordinated by Evgeny Stambulchik.
When the copyright changed to the GPL, the project name changed to Grace. The documentation expands the name as either 'GRaphing, Advanced Computation and Exploration of data' or 'Grace Revamps ACE/gr'. The first Grace version was numbered 5.0.0, while the last public Xmgr version was 4.1.2.
### Historique d'adoption
Grace occupied a durable niche on Unix-like scientific workstations: point-and-click plotting with publication-quality output, batch capabilities, and file formats suited to lab workflows. Its official page also notes historical ports to VMS, OS/2, and older Windows systems, which reflects its use across scientific computing environments rather than only one desktop platform.
### Modes d'utilisation
Users run the GUI as `xmgrace` or use command-line helpers such as `gracebat` for batch plotting and conversion workflows. The official guide emphasizes the combination of GUI convenience and scripting power for calculations, automated tasks, and precise control of graph appearance.
Grace project files and runtime configuration are conventional package-manager concerns because users often need stable fonts, default settings, and reproducible plot output across machines. The documented `gracerc` lookup locations and font database path are part of that operational footprint.
### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent
Grace matters to package nerds as a classic X11 scientific desktop application that still carries older Unix assumptions: Motif or LessTif UI dependencies, helper binaries, font data, batch mode, and export drivers. Packaging it is as much about preserving a lab plotting workflow as shipping a single binary.
Its ACE/gr to Xmgr to Grace history also explains why users and downstream packages may still refer to `xmgrace` even when the package display name is Grace.
### Chronologie
- 1991-1995: Official copyright notice credits Paul J. Turner for the Xmgr/ACE-gr era.
- Version 4.00: Development passed to a volunteer team coordinated by Evgeny Stambulchik.
- 5.0.0: First Grace-numbered version after the GPL/name change.
- 5.1.8: The official change log documents safe mode for command-language statements that could modify files.
### Related projects
- Xmgr and ACE/gr are direct predecessors.
- Gnuplot and Genplot are comparable script-oriented plotting tools named in the official documentation.
- Sigmaplot and Microcal Origin are comparable GUI plotting tools named in the official documentation.
