I am looking for a graphics package which is essentially 2-d graphics
I am dealing with representation of line diagrams, and for those of who not familiar with one line
diagrams they are essentially electric circuits representation with 
the connecting lines , "lines" representing the connections between two points and the number
of these lines would be about 40 -50 per screen .The width of these lines would change based on the
values which are retrieved from a database. 
so I dont know if it should have an access to the database and i would be . Basically I am looking for 
something that can run x windows. Here again I am not sure if this sort of application i need a graphics package or a gui. 
             I am also involved in showing these lines as a geographical 
map of USA and I dont know hoew to deal with it. These are all power lines which
are scattered all over the place . if possible i would also like to know 
what language has to be used to generate those sort of displays .
Is there any way to have a contact with someone who is dealing with visualisation of electric power systems?
I AM A TOTAL NOVICE IN THIS FIELD
So I hope someone could help me out
