GLE (Graphics Layout Engine)
GLE (Graphics Layout Engine) is a graphics scripting language designed for creating publication quality figures (e.g., a chart, plot, graph, or diagram). GLE supports various chart types (including function plot, histogram, bar chart, scatter plot, contour plot, color map, and surface plot) through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More complex output can be created by relying on GLE's scripting language, which is full featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control. GLE relies on LaTeX for text output and supports mathematical formulae in graphs and figures.

A wonderful tool to create nice graphs ! The language is clear and easy to learn, the picture creation is really fast, you can use a simple text file to store the data number to plot, you can make a PNG, JPEG, EPS, SVG... output, LaTeX can be used to include pretty texts on the graphs... Definitely a must have !!
