Octave does numerical calculations and uses Gnuplot for plotting. Both are free packages within the distribution, of course. On the commercial sector there are IDL or PV-WAVE. Both are quite similar and have the same pedrigee. I successfully run the Linux version of PV-WAVE 6.1 with the Linux emulator under 2.2.2-R. Maybe the same can be done with IDL but I've never tried. Take a look at `http://www.vni.com' or `http://www.rsinc.com'.
