Alex,

It'd probably be worth checking out the plotutils package

	http://www.fsf.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html

Very stable, very flexible 2-D plotting utilities.  There's a set of 
command-line tools which can handle data in several formats as well as C/C++ 
APIs and a library if you want to compile them into your own programs.  
Produce output in quite a large number of vector and bitmap formats.  The 
installation is of the standard, straightforward configure, make, make 
install variety (i.e., no Makefiles to edit, shell scripts to run, files to 
copy) and there are RPMs and probably Debian binary packages available as 
well.

For 3-D graphics, I haven't found a perfect solution, but the best I've found 
is the dislin package

Hope this helps!  Good luck.

Aaron

lose that, too.
