By the time you might had found the solution, in case if someone is still looking for solution.

1. save your plot in postscript format ( i.e yourplot.ps ) 

2. in linux simply type "convert yourplot.ps yourplot.xx"  xx => format of your interest.

Cheers.

Dear Muhammad Sufyan Ramzan,

Thanks for reply !

I use very less xmgrace sometime I need when I use linux (ubuntu) otherwise I use origin.

I was searching in xmgrace how to plot new data as x-axis and y axis I did not get like origin and other plotting software. For example I have data like

X(axis)  Y (axis)

2           4

4          10

6          12

8          14

10        16

12         18

How does plot this data in xmgrace ? Can you tell me which option I have to go for plotting.

Thanks

Shilendra

grace -nxy input.xvg -hdevice PNG -hardcopy -printfile output.png

That works for png format. You can try jpeg

@Bakary Ntji Diallo

Thank you very much for the commandline way of producing the graph. This also works as a charm when I implemented in my bandgrabber code for automatically generating band-structure plots from VASP.

Hi

go to the file-print set up and choose jpeg or other suffixes

then you should enter the file name and apply and accept the print in

good luck

Thank you Bakary Ntji Diallo . Commandline given by you is very helpful in converting .xvg files to .jpeg or .png files. How can we improve the quality of the image so that it remains clear even upon zoom.

Thanks

Maninder Singh I just tried .tiff, .pdf but they all lose in quality when zooming, and I can't a related option for that in grace --help

Thank you Bakary Ntji Diallo . I think the generated images are good enough and are of publication quality. Please correct me.

I am sure about. Many journals have their own specific criteria for image quality.

I agree with you

I am sure the question is settled by now, but for whoever finds it in future:

You can increase the output resolution in gracebat by simply setting the canvas resolution very large. Like so:

gracebat input.xvg -hdevice PNG -autoscale xy -printfile graph.png -fixed 3840 2160
