RGorace.
This package is a port of RGrace to new GTK2
interface which is now complete thanks to Michael Lawrence RGtk2 package.
Most fetures described on RGrace's
page still holds true and the main improvements are in the interface
look and fill.
Unlike RGrace this package is pure script and does not require
compilation. Despite that it depends a lot on other packages like that of RGtk2 (which
requires GTK2 with a version more than 2.10 and with glade support), cairoDevice and gtkDevice2
whose installation may prove to be
tricky. The gtkDevice2 package (the patched version of ) is optional graphic device the RGorace does not depend on it but it may be more useful in some cases to use it.
gtkDevice can not use
freetype fonts and can not smooth graphics but more stable than
cairoDevice which has problems with long datasets'(more than
50000 points) due to a bug in cairo library. So you may install both
and select one you like more then calling figure() command setting "ge" parameter as either "gdk" or "cairo". The last is
the default and so cairoDevice is the required package.
There is also a bug with drowing of special math symbols on cairo device. This bug is fixed by the patch
gtkDevice2 - port of original
gtkDevice to Gtk2.
RGorace - the package itself. Its
interface you can see on screenshot below and pdf output.
