Inset Plot in GRACE (Xmgrace)

Image
Grace is an opensource data-analysis/plotting software. Grace runs on practically any version of Unix-like OS. As well, it has been successfully ported to Win9*/NT/2000/XP (some minor functionality may be missing, though). The inset plot can be generated by following way: Give command in terminal: xmgrace dataset1.dat , (or import data by Data -> Import -> ASCII in other platforms) will create the plot of dataset1.dat in the main window (call it Graph1). Now for creating inset of another dataset let say dataset2.dat in the same graph please follow the following steps. Data -> Import -> ASCII to open the " Grace:Read Sets " dialogue box.  Graph 1 created in step 1 , is labelled G0 . In the " Read to Graph " section the " (+) G0 " graph is selected by default.  Right-click on the " (+) G0 " to open the pop-up menu (see the image).  Select " Create new ". It will create ' (+) G1 ' empty graph.
