Xmgrace is old, and not actively developed anymore but has the advantage of a powerful Command Line interface. Other possibiities are SciDavis and Veusz.

Gnuplot is an excellent scientific plotting program, which has been around a long time and is still actively developed. Once can use it for ad-hoc graphs, save the configuration and then clean it up ina text editor for final output. It's also Makefile friendly for automated workflows. R also has excellent statistical graphs, especially with the R-ggplot2 package. It's also automation friendly.

Well-supported graphics packages have galleries of sample artifacts you can view online. If there are examples in publications or web sites that you like, ask the authors how they were produced. You may want to post in a LibreOffice forum to see if there is a way to do something similar in LibreOffice -- if not maybe it will generate a feature request. I often generate a basic artifact with python or R and tweak it with Inkscape or Krita 4 where I get more direct control of details. -- George N.
