PiCTeX and gnutex both do plotting, though neither in as clear or
easy way as grap in my view. PiCTeX is good, but slow and
memory-hungry. Both bits of software are available on the Unix TeX
tape, and probably via your favourite `loadsa TeX goodies' FTP site.

If you have a DWB license, you can get a copy of `tpic', which takes
pic (ie grap output) and converts it to TeX macros; the use of a dvi
driver which understands the tpic \specials is assumed. 

There was a paper at last years French TeX meeting about an
implementation of pic in TeX - maybe someone reading this heard it?
