You don't say whether you need hiquality graphs, but if you just
want lineprinter graphs, then
 I strongly recommend the UNIXSTAT programs, which will do many
basic statistical operations using standard UNIX pipe syntax.  Drawing
line-printer histograms from ascii files is one of the tools.  This
invaluable public domain tool originally came from Gary Perlman at 
UCSD, but I have no idea if it has been updated, since the version I
have is years old.  If anyone on the net knows where it is, or if it
has been updated, that would be really useful.  I have the C source code
somewhere, but I would need to hunt for it.

Hope this helps
Patrick
