Plotting with xmgrace using bash












0















I'm using Xmgrace to plot my data.
I wanted to make my life easier and I started to write a bash script, so I don't have to plot the data manually.



In order to save the figures, I wrote this to the code:



device "eps" op "level2"
print to "../figs/name.eps"
print


This command generates the eps: xmgrace -batch nameoffile.bfile -nosafe
When I run this command, Xmgrace opens, an error message pops up
"[Error] Unknown device: DEVICE "eps" OP "level2"
, and it generates the necessary eps-file.



I have other an other problem as well and up until this point I wasn't able to solve it. I made a script to convert all necessary data to eps figures.
The program Xmgrace opens every time with the error message (and with the figure). I have to close it manually (it's really unpleasant after the sixth closure). Is there a way to close Xmgrace program in bash?
It would be even better if I also could save the data in "*.agr" before closing Xmgrace.
