OmniGraffle (GUI)
     http://www.omnigroup.com/
AT&T's GraphViz
     http://www.graphviz.org/
AutoGraf (UML, Based on GraphViz)
     http://autograf.sourceforge.net/

GraphViz uses a text-based format underneath, and can therefore be
generated automatically (with a little scripting). AomniGraffle has an
Applescript interface, and has been used for visualisation of internet
traffic on a web-site (for instance, more examples on the Omni site).

All produce PDF, which looks good on screen, and can be included without
fuzz in latex.
