One of my favorite 2D plotting programs is Grace.

http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/

It's powerful, and can be complicated to generate all of the data from
the shell.

Typically I first use the defaultrs to display the data, and use the
interactive features to design the plot, with legends, style, title,
subtitle, axis labeling, etc.


Then I save the (meta) parameters it a separate file from the data.

I generate the new data using a script, and view the graph with new
data and old graph parameters.

At times I have used a shell script to modify the parameters for a
series of plots.
