As far as we are discussing about graphics, actually my favorite and
quick (and powreful) solution to produce pdf graphics not TeX-related
is to use the graphic facilities of R, generating automatically scripts
with code
(http://www.r-project.org/).

Yes with the difference that while Metapost, Asympthote and GLE
(http://glx.sourceforge.net/) use their own proprietary language to do
PDF graphics, Tioga(*) uses Ruby, a full featrured and very nice
language. I even see more presence in the
I just had a look at the Tioga page and the figures are excellent.
Though it looks even more wedded to LaTeX than asymptote is?
