So far I only used these packages within literal latex blocks (#+begin_latex ... #+end_latex). I also used gnuplot, besides others, but in my opinion with tikz/pgfplots you are able to get the most visually pleasing results for many technical graphics (especially when integrating the outcome within LaTeX ;-)). And besides gnuplot is still too restricted for handling data for my needs, it has not a proper programming languages. Nowadays I'm using R to import, prepare and often also graphing data (within org-mode source blocks) and directly exporting them to latex documents. -- Best wishes H. Dieter Wilhelm Darmstadt Germany
