I don't have it "working" but if I had to graph stuff, I'd look at
gnuplot:

http://www.gnuplot.info/

How would I use Gnuplot, you ask?  I'd set it to generate the output as
a PNG ("set terminal png") then tell it to send the PNG to a file ("set
output <filename>").  Unfortunately, the "small" size for PNG is
640x480, which might not be what you wanted.

If you need a little more control, I might get Gnuplot to output in SVG
(Scalable Vector Graphics) format ("set terminal svg") and specify the
size.  Then, I might use a tool like Batik (xml.apache.org's SVG
toolkit, http://xml.apache.org/batik/) and its image transcoding
capabilities to render the SVG as, say, JPEG, so I could display them on
the web.

Perhaps if you define exactly what "graphing" you're looking to do, I
could offer more useful suggestions.
