Typo: it's PGF, not PFG, just in case you wanted to google it or
something;).

I'd also mention Metapost, on which I believe TikZ was modeled (at least
to some extent).

Since you mentioned embedding in LaTeX, I'd also suggest TikZ; it has a
huge manual, but /very/ well written, with quite a few tutorials and
examples. One benefit is that it is tightly integrated into LaTeX,
but it can also export SVG (though with a few limitations compared to
the pdfLaTeX-produced output).  Also, you might want to check out the
gallery of TikZ examples here: http://www.texample.net/tikz/ .
