SuperPlan can do scatter and line and lots of other plots.  Hmm-I don't
think it does log scale axes directly:  but you could apply an
exponential function to a column of numbers and plot the result
on a linear axis.  Output is at full resolution of the printer or
(HP-GL) plotter.  MaxiPlan can do scatter and line plots, but at least
the old version (MP+) couldn't output in better than screen resolution
(I understand MPIII does full printer resolution and offers better
control of annotation than they used to; SuperPlan allows good
user control of annotation position, size, font, color, etc.)
