Matt is correct. The graphics in Larch are much better than the graphics in the old version of ifeffit.
I may go back to using the command line.

The poor quality of the graphics in the older versions of Ifeffit / Horae was always been a disappointment to me. It's certainly reasonable to say that exporting to another program is necessary, but I believe the latest versions should and do have much higher quality graphics. Larch certainly has much better graphics than Ifeffit. See for example: http://xraypy.github.com/xraylarch/xafs/xafsft.html#examples-forward-xafs-fo...
In the on-line docs, the graphics may look mediocre because they are scaled, but if you click on them you will see the PNG file created directly by saving the image from the Plot window (or cut with Ctrl-C and pasted directly into presentation software). Another example (from the feffit chapter): http://xraypy.github.com/xraylarch/_images/feffit_feo_r.png
shows the Greek characters and mathematical rendering, generated using latex notation. Depending on what you need, these may publication quality graphs,and they can be copied directly from the Plotting windows into other applications (for example, Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard works). The axis labels (plain text or latex), colors, symbols, line widths, and so on can be adjusted from a Plot Configuration window after the plot is drawn, see http://xraypy.github.com/xraylarch/plotting/index.html#interactive-use-of-th...
There are many things that cannot be done simply with these plots (figure-in-figure, complex stacking), but in principle, Larch can be used to generate any of the kinds of plots available from the matplotlib library, see http://matplotlib.org/gallery.html
