In all probability you have the graphing package "gnuplot" installed on
your machine. Gnuplot can produde Postscript output.

Run gnuplot. Type

set term postscript.

This means that the putput will be in postscript.

set ouput "<filename>"

This redirects the output to the file filename.

The file produced by this method will be plain Postscript, not
encapsulated, and may be included in Latex documents.

Hope this helps,
