# Grace

Grace is foremost a plotting tool, and e.g. GROMACS produces tailored input for
it, but Grace can also be used for some numerical analyses.

## Available

* Puhti: 5.1.25

## License

* [GPL](https://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/doc/GPL.html)

## Usage

Initialize Grace with:

```bash
module load grace
```

And start with `xmgrace` or show a plot directly with `xmgrace input.xvg`.

Note, that you need remote graphics to work with Grace. An easy way is through the
[Puhti web interface remote desktop](../computing/webinterface/desktop.md).
