You could also do it with Sweave, but this would require knowledge of R.

Another possible option is to use PiCTeX, available at CTAN.  With 
LaTeX, you have to load the PiCTeX macros and then insert the code for 
your graph within a \beginpicture...\endpicture environment.  I've used 
this with LaTeX, but never with LyX.

I would do this using Grace (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/) and 
print the plot to a PDF file.  This can then be included in LyX as a figure. 

Within Grace, the menu sequence is: EditDatasetsEditCreate newBy formula

Re: How do i plot a function?

If you need to plot this function you can use this code:

\psset{yunit=0.5cm,xunit=1cm}
\begin{pspicture*}(-2.5,-2)(2.5,10)
\psaxes[Dy=2]{-}(0,0)(-2.5,-1)(2.5,10)
\psset{linewidth=1.5pt}
\psPolynomial[coeff=0 0 3]{-2.5}{5}
\rput[lb](1.6,4.2){$f(x)$}
\end{pspicture*}

You will need the package pst-func in your preamble. See the documentation.

Hey dudes,

i would like to plot a simple function like f(x)=3x^2. I know there
are 2 ways of doing that. The first is to generate an image with an
external tool like gnuplot and include that image in the document
(Which i don't want to do). I would rather use a latex package so the
plot will be generated by data in have in the document. I have been
told i had to alter the latex preamble but is that possible at all? I
know there is a button to include Tex code but that's all.

Cheers!

 i would like to plot a simple function  

I would try to use pstricks package for this.I have not used it recently 
but I do recall that I generated the data points for my function and then used 
pstricks code in ERT to include the datafile in my LyX doc.

There also is a package called pgf, which includes tikz. Those two are 
really powerful and do have very nice output (see 
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/), but like pstricks, time needs 
to be spend reading manuals.
In short, you need to add \usepackage{tikz} and depending on what 
exactly you want to do some other statements in you document 
settings-Latex preamble. Then add the code you learned reading the 
manual in ERT at the places you want, and everything should be fine.
