"""
This backend is based on the 2D graphics package Grace (available at
http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace). The connection with Python is
handled by the grace_np.py module written by Michael Haggerty. This module
is available in the pygrace module by Mike McKerns (see
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~mmckerns/software.html). Only curve plotting is
currently available. However, histograms and pie charts might be added in
the future. The Grace backend can be used by

  python somefile.py --SCITOOLS_easyviz_backend grace

or one can specify the backend in the SciTools configuration file
scitools.cfg under the [easyviz] section

  [easyviz]
  backend = grace

and then

  from scitools.std import *

or if just easyviz is needed

  from scitools.easyviz import *

REQUIREMENTS:

Grace
pygrace

Known issues:

- To be able to store a copy of a plot with the hardcopy command, one must
  disable safe mode with the -nosafe option when running Grace. One can do
  this by adding the following line to GraceProcess.__init__ in grace_np.py
  (e.g. at line 130):

    cmd = cmd + ('-nosafe',)

- PDF output does not seem to work (at least on my configuration).

Tip:

- One way to create axes at arbitrary positions is to use the axes command
  together with the viewport optional argument. In the Grace backend this
  argument should be given as the list [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] where (xmin,ymin)
  is the lower-left corner and (xmax,ymax) is the upper-right corner. An 
  example is provided next.

    >>> x = seq(-3,3,0.1)
    >>> subplot(2,2,3)
    >>> plot(x,x**2,'ro:2',x,8*sin(2*pi*x),'g',x,x**3,'mx')
    [<scitools.easyviz.common.Line object at 0xb15645ac>]
    >>> subplot(2,2,4)
    >>> plot(x,x**3,'r+',title='subplot(2,2,4)')
    [<scitools.easyviz.common.Line object at 0xb31596ac>]
    >>> ax = axes(viewport=[0.1, 0.55, 0.9, 0.9])
    >>> plot(ax,x,cos(x),'bd--',axis=[-2,4,-1,2]')
