I have a bunch of data that I have entered into an Excel Spreadsheet and
then generated graphs using the Excel functions.  I am preparing a paper
in LaTex (actually emTeX) that I would like to include these graphs in.
Is there an easy way to enter the data points and get accurate lines
out?  The LaTeX manual indicates that only a limited set of line slopes
are supported - is there any way around this?

Also, I would like to include several sets of data on one graph with
each set having different line or point symbols; is this possible?

If I can't do the above I'll probably just end up printing the Excel
graphs and paste them into my final paper.

Please respond via e-mail.

Thanks,
Paul H. Stephan (pstephan@mcs.kent.edu)
