I looked at jgraph, but I prefer gnuplot.  Mostly because the default
graphs look nicer (with two very minor modifications to the PostScript file)
and it supports terminals other than PostScript so you can preview and plot 
graphs with the same package.  Also written in C and has a flexible input
language to control the form of the plot.  

Send mail to pixar!info-gnuplot@sun.com for further information. (I can't
find the ftp address that I got it from, sorry)
