It is quite true (and EXTREMELY unfortunate) that Improv does not
do scientific type graphing. Here's how I get around this:
 
First I have my program save the data in .txt file/format, then I import to
Improv and use the formula capabilities to get data that will be 
'plot-able' and then cut/paste into Edit. After saving the Edit file I
use gnuplot to create my plots and bingo, I'm done.
It is quite a pain this way, but it works well.

Hope this helps and I hope we get something better than Improv SOON.
