Hi;

If you're looking for something like gnuplot, then you can use it.
Their is a new terminal (called aqua), which make it easys to use 
gnuplot from the command line. Graphics will be displayed by an other 
application (aqua term), which is abble to save them in pdf and eps...

For that you need to get Aqua term (http://), then the source of gnuplot 
(http://) , modify those so gnuplot be aware of aqua term and finally 
compile gnuplot.

You'll find all necessary info at : http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net/ the 
home page od the aqua term program (open source software).

I already used it for preparation of plots in an article, it's just 
great.

Serge.
