GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing
other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible
with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
Grace is a tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical data. It
runs under various (if not all) flavours of UNIX with X11 and M*tif.
Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based programs like
Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like gnuplot or
Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the
convenience of a graphical user interface with the power of a
scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated calculations
or perform automated tasks.
Flavors:
no_x11 - build command line tool only, no gui
fftw - use math/fftw for optimized FFT
netcdf - use math/netcdf for network common data form support
xmhtml - use www/xmhtml to use grace's internal HTML browser
for helpfiles etc.

FFTW is a free collection of fast C routines for computing the
Discrete Fourier Transform in one or more dimensions. It includes
complex, real, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary
array sizes efficiently. FFTW is typically faster than other
publically-available FFT implementations, and is even competitive
with vendor-tuned libraries. (See our web page for extensive
benchmarks.) To achieve this performance, FFTW uses novel code-generation
and runtime self-optimization techniques (along with many other
tricks).

* Now respects CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS, no need for patches.
* autoconf removed, CONFIGURE_STYLE set to simple.
* Use do-install target now that the install method is so messy.
* New homepage.
COMMENTS don't end with .
HOMEPAGE is there for a reason.
Only bsd.port.mk uses tabspaces set to 4.
pre-package does not run as root, post-install does.
copying files is not good enough to make them executable.
