'''Grace''' is a [[free software|free]] [[WYSIWYG]] 2D graph plotting tool, for [[Unix-like]] [[operating system]]s. The package name stands for "GRaphing, Advanced Computation and Exploration of data." Grace uses the [[X Window System]] and [[Motif (software)|Motif]] for its GUI. It has been ported to [[OpenVMS|VMS]], [[OS/2]], and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] 9*/NT/2000/XP (on [[Cygwin]]).
