I'm very impressed by tikz and gnuplot. I use both of them inefficiently
sometimes trying to understand some code here and there. There
documentation are very good though. It would be great for a sabatical in
my opinion.
Because I didn't take the time to learn tikz and gnuplot, these days I
mostly make graphics with R and ggplot2 though. The advantage is that in
addition of the good documentation there is a quite a number of people
using it so it more likely that some people have encountered your
problem before or has a solution to your problem. So you can find
solution more quickly I believe. Yet this is an easy
way out because I think taking the time to learn how the stuff really
works give you some perspective.
Best regards,
Jeremie
