  i'm working on one as i write this.  right now it only does x-y line
graphs.  it does no generation of data, you must supply a file with
the data (just the data, no extra commands needed).  as of now the user
can change the x-y axis ranges, tick spacing, tick numbering, labels
for title,x-axis,y-axis (may be optionally rotated), marker frequency
and type (square,circle, filled), fonts of all labels and tick labels,
colors of all graph items, custom palette, grid type, curve fit 
type (smooth, regression, power).  it's a desktop (640) program.  you can
have multiple graphs open.  can print to anything that gs/os uses.
  it also has a cool print layout feature where you can put the graph
anywhere on the page, at any size.  uses QDII commands so the quality
is preserved as the graph scales.  it does auto-scaling on data when
read in.  i plan to add bar graphs, multiple curves per graph, more
user defined options, labels anywhere on graph, export as PICT.  
  i'm writing this program because the graphing part of AWGS Spreadsheet
module sucks the big one, and i've not seen any other program that does
any better.  if anyone has more suggestions just send me mail.
