[OS X TeX] Simple Illustration Program

[Tore Haug-Warberg]

Hi,

I have had this problem for years and would be glad to discuss it. 
Basically I have four distinct problems:

1a) Plotting x,y-data with axes and legends (Matlab)
1b) Plotting x,y-data with tilted axes like in triangular composition 
diagrams (Matlab?)
2)   Vector based drawings (Omnigraffle?)
3)   Free-hand drawings (no alternatives)

Maybe we should go off-line and come back when (if) we reach a conclusion?

Tore.

PS. I am teaching thermodynamics myself and have a constant need of making 
simple diagrams with correct slopes but otherwise arbitrary. So, a drawing 
program with interpreted in-line math-functions would be GREAT (maybe I 
should look at GNU-plot once more).
