-Grace has not yet been installed on Lengau.  The information given below is out of date.
+A version of the 2D-plotting software [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/gracegtk/|Grace]], built on top of the GTK+-2 toolkit, has been installed on Lengau. In order to use it, follow these instructions:
+  - Ensure that you have a graphics-capable environment, either by getting an interactive compute node session with X-forwarding (slow), or by getting a [[howto:remote_viz|VNC session]] on one of the visualization nodes (chpcviz1 or chpclic1) or on a [[howto:remote_viz#getting_a_virtual_desktop_on_a_compute_node|compute node]]
+  - ''module load chpc/compmech/gracegtk''
+  - ''ggrace''
+  - The GraceGTK documentation is available at ''/apps/chpc/compmech/gracegtk/doc/GraceGTK.pdf''
-Grace is a WYSIWYG 2D plotting tool for the X Window System and M*tif.  It has been installed in the directory ''/opt/gridware/non-supported/grace''.  The executables are located in ''/opt/gridware/non-supported/grace/bin''.  To run the code in interactive mode, give the command ''/opt/gridware/non-supported/grace/bin/xmgrace'', or add the directory to your path.  Please refer to the [[http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/|Grace home page]] for more information.  To run grace, a graphics-enabled interactive environment will be required, therefore refer to the page on [[howto:remote_viz|Remote Visualization]] for instructions on setting up a connection to the visualization node, and launching a VNC session.
