[comp.text] Quest for the *ULTIMATE* Color VuGraph

I   have  looked around  the market  place  for a *COLOR*  scientific/
mathematical VuGraph generating capibility: found nothing.  Don't need
much.  Just some  software to drive a color  flat-bed plotter like the
HP4055A that does more than pie charts and  maps of the  world running
on a IBM/PC,  Apple  Mac or Sun workstation.   Equations  are a  must.
Tables are a  must.  Two (and  possibly three)  dimensional  plots are
desirable.

Is there such a software/hardware package?  I can do all  of the above
with ditroff   and a  LaserWriter  and   a  Copy machine  (to  get the
transparency), except for for the  *COLOR* requirement.  Does a driver
exist for the HP4055A plotter for ditroff (or, God forbid TeX)?
