Not a lot of good plotters for Windows either. Most offerings today are exclusively online.

Commenting slightly out of sequence... sorry.
I thought that, too, back when I believed that writing a custom set of CALCOMP-compatible C library functions that generated Encapsulated PostScript would be a piece of cake to write. (My head still hurts from that battle fought intermittently over the years.)

I found the Gnuplot documentation to be pretty well-written compared to a great many other Open Source packages' documentation. The examples that come with the package are great places to start. Find one that's close to what you want to generate and tweak as necessary using the manual as a guide.
