You might want to check out R <http://www.r-project.org/>. It is a free 
version of the widely used statistical modeling language S, which has 
extensive documentation online and in excellent books and many 
contributed packages. R graphics are very powerful and come with a wide 
variety of predefined formats. The prepackaged Mac OS X version is here 
<http://www.cran.mirrors.pair.com/bin/macosx/>, and is being actively 
developed. For an excellent book to R/S, check out 
<http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/>.
