people who ask this seldom say what they mean by `graphic drawing' or
what sort of output device they have (or want to be limited to). It
all depends..... if anyone out there thinks there is The Answer, then
lets hear it. So far as I am concerned, its horses for courses; I, for
instance, currently use all of the following to produce output or a
PostScript printer. If you haven't got PostScript, my advice is to
give up ;-}

 - Fig interactive drawing package on Sun
 - Adobe Illustrator on Mac
 - Corel Draw on PC
 - PiCTeX macros in TeX
 - grap and pic languages, using tpic  to incorporate in TeX
 - raw PostScript
