Here are some more example plots:
http://www.che.wisc.edu/~jbraw/chemreacfun/figures.html
These were all generated with Octave and gnuplot (pslatex terminal
plus epstopdf to generate PDF from the EPS parts of the figures). The
book that contains them is the primary reason that Octave exists, and
it was produced entirely with Octave, LaTeX, gnuplot, Xfig, etc. Make
was used to control the whole process, including producing the
figures, compiling the document (including lecture slides and solution
manual), and generating the HTML file for the web page of figures. If
a computational source file changes, running Make generates an
up-to-date version of the book (and everything else). Changes are
tracked with CVS (two primary authors and a technical consultant have
write priveleges).
