This may have been answered before, but I have been following this
newsgroup for a while and have not seen the question, so my apologies
in advance.

I would like a good scientific plotting program, one that does log
axes (and does the log computation of the points), lets one use scientific
notation in the labels, perhaps can do 3-D plots, etc., whose output
can be incorporated into LaTeX files.  Preferably, the output would
be .dvi so it could be printed on anything, but I could accept it being
able to be printed only on PostScript printers.

I have used PiCTeX, but I am less than impressed with its speed and its 
relying upon TeX's computational abilities.  I have not seen anything
in the monthly FAQ which answers this question.

E-mail and I will summarize or post directly as you see fit.  Thanks.
