[comp.text] TeX Graphics

dennison@mpre.UUCP (Mike Dennison) (05/12/88)

G'day, I am working for Microtel Pacific Research.
We have just finished installing the TeX text formatter and
are looking for a graphics package to use with it.
Our network consists mostly of PC workstations running
MS-DOS, connected to various Ultrix (UNIX) microVAX II's.

Does any body out there know of any good graphics packages that
can be used with TeX?  Harvard Graphics is one of the packages 
I am considering, but I don't want to overlook anything.

The package must be able to output PostScript files.  The main features
we are looking for are business graphics (pie charts, bar charts, etc.)
and freeform diagrams such as data flow diagrams and similar
symbols + connectives type diagrams (eg. network layouts). A large
icon "clip art" library as well as the ability to create new icons
is desired.  Any extras would be considered gravy (I like gravy).

Any help you could render here would be greatly appreciated 
(i.e. Thanks!)
