I've used both pstricks and tikz/pgf. Both would be acceptable but tikz is simpler. Here is a diagonal-line producing TeX source using tikz: \input tikz.tex \tikzpicture \draw (0,0) -- (1,1.5); \endtikzpicture. \bye \end If you process this with TeX in MiKTeX, the system will (offer to) automatically install all the necessary packages.
