I'd check out "R." I haven't used it myself, but it's free and has a lot of enthusiastic users.

Thanks for that, many are quite good. But, umm... you sent me to a site related to icanhascheezeburger.com... really?!?!?!? ;-) I use bar graphs and charts in my teaching a good bit, but my theoretical stuff's only really amenable to vennishness... As always, I am frustrated by MS Office's Venn's 'cuz I can't carve out or play with the overlaps... or I can't figure out how to do so after years of trying. -A
