I would suggest a CAS program like Maple. If you want a free (as in beer)
alternative, you could use wxmaxima, which is actually pretty good. MuPAD
used to do a very nice job of graphics, but I haven't used it since they
started charging.
If you want mathematical help in setting up the graphics, ask me off-list.
