    This is a great project that keeps alive a great tool as grace is.

    This is absolutely the most user hostile interface I've seen on a program since the 1980's. And the "help" is written exclusively for a Linux installation with a three button mouse. Is there a two button equivalent in Windows? Who knows? I tried all the fingers I can click with and all the command keys I have on my keyboard. No popup menus. I import data from a standard csv and it can't parse the columns and apparently gives up after reading in only `10% of the data set. I'll never know if it is a good curve fitting program since I cannot figure out how to import data or operate the damn interface. You need to hire an interface designer.

    I am very sorry, that you are unhappy with the interface. My intension is NOT to create a program with a new user-interface but to create a program with a user interface as similar to the original Grace/xmgrace/xmgr as possible. Yes, I know that this interface is at first not very intuitive. Yes, I have indeed included a few options that include a few modern interface additions that where not present in Grace/xmgrace, but these have to be activated manually in the preferences (I wanted Grace/xmgrace-users to feel comfortable and not irritated). The third mouse-button is usually the mouse-wheel (pressing on it). There are only popup-menus in the set-lists (lists with G0.S0 and similar entries). Try double-clicking somewhere. To get a popup in the main-window you have to activate it in the preferences. Parsing of csv-data is indeed a bit problematic with the latest release-version. Especially time- or date-formats are not read correctely. I am currently working on this. This is something that was absent in Grace/xmgrace as well. The usual data-format for Grace/xmgrace is an ascii-file with tabs as column-separators and new-lines as row-sparators. But if you are using dates or time this will not work nevertheless. If you want I can upload the current development-version of QtGrace that is very capable of reading files of differnt formats via simple drag and drop. And as a final remark: I do not 'hire' any help. Everything I do by myself and everything is free of charge. I try to help if anyone has some problems and I am indeed very interested in bugs. BUT: This is the Qt-version of Grace/xmgrace and not a completely new data-displaying/manipulating-program. Therefore the interface is and stays at it is. (The interface can be comfortable and efficient if you get used to it.)

    I really appreciate having binaries of the familiar and powerful 'grace' on all major platforms! Thanks for this.

    This installed and worked perfectly on Mac OSX Mavericks. However, for my purposes, qtgrace is missing one vital component: print to pdf. This comes with the original xmgrace and is a necessity for my work. All in all, I love the idea, I love how quick it is, how I can double click an *.agr file now, and the functionality is wonderful. However, this simple missing option forces me to continue use the original xmgrace through X11 :(

    The code seems to not build properly on fedora 20. Can this be fixed?

    I think it should work with the latest releases...

    Build on Fedora 20 segfaults at start for some reason. I could not find a way to request a support ticket for this in the bugs menu. Thanks. UPDATE: The culprit is the type1/bstring.c file, which redefines mmemset. Removing this file from the Makefile and re-compiling results in a running qtgrace.

    This is a great stable port of Grace that is true to the original. Being able to use Grace in Windows has greatly helped my workflow. Although Grace isn't the easiest to use, this project maintains the original layout of Grace, so that's not the fault of this project.

    Great Job, thanks for sharing it ! The new undo and dataset labeling options are really helpful. I'll stick to the Qt version from now on !
