I just saw this, I'm sorry. R is good for a lot of statistics sorts of plots. I have been building plots using ipython/pylab/matplotlib. Ipython allows me to experiment with things interactively, and then I can write a quick script using the ipython log. I find the matplotlib interface more intuitive and closer to Matlab. I find R kind of confusing. I've used GNU plot also, but I still prefer the matplotlib syntax, and the matplotlib site has a big gallery of code.
I wonder if R is a good alternative to GNU Plot as a free resource for visualizing data. (?)
