I'm not sure what you consider "quality" graphs but, in general, I've had
success doing this with either Access Technologies 20/20 spreadsheet or
Wolfram's Mathematica.  

For 20/20 you simply need to run the following script on the PS file:

   #!/bin/csh
   sed "s/PS-Adobe-1.0/PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2/" |\
   sed "s/^8.500000 inch 0 translate/%EPSF 8.500000 inch 0 translate/" |\
   sed "s/^90 rotate/%EPSF 90 rotate/"

For Mathematica you just need to edit the BoundingBox line to give you
the right stuff.  I.e. print the page, measure the location, convert
to points, and edit the PostScript.  This is pretty messy but I love
3D surface plots....

Of course, in neither situation do you actually see the graph on the 
screen.  You only see it when it prints out.

Not the best solution, but if you have to do this kind of thing it
will suffice until document prep and graphics packages get their act
together under UNIX.  (Yes, I know Interleaf has some plotting
facilities but I've not had an opportunity to try them... yet.)
