  Do any on you TeX/LaTeX users know of any good software for
creating graphs and figures? I'd like to be able to
represent "X-Y" plots  as .tex files that I can read into a TeX
document. I want the ability to label axes, insert titles, put in
tic-marks, overlay grids, etc. I'd like the software to be as device
independent as possible.

  For example, I'd like to be able to create
a plot by writing a simple program; its output would be
TeX commands.

  Any suggestions?
