AI Thread Summary
Alternatives to the graphing program xmgrace for Linux users include Veusz and SciDaVis, both of which are free and open-source. Veusz is noted for its impressive features, making it a strong candidate for users seeking a WYSIWYG graphing software that can match or exceed the capabilities of xmgrace 5.1.22. Additionally, gnuplot is mentioned as a useful tool for batch processing and real-time plot updates, although it is less frequently needed compared to xmgrace. Overall, the discussion highlights the search for improved graphing software options in the Linux environment.

Hi, I was just wondering if there exists an alternative to the graphing program xmgrace, i.e. a WYSIWYG graphing software that runs under Linux and can do everything that Grace 5.1.22 can do (or almost everything; preferably more), and preferably free/open-source? I think xmgrace is good, but it can be improved.

Thanks!

Veusz?
SciDaVis?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Veusz looks impressive, I'll surely give that a try.
 
I also use gnuplot sometimes when xmgrace does not suffice (which is rare). gnuplot is easier to use in batch processes and real time plot updating is also very easy.
