Tioga

From CFD-Wiki

Tioga is a Ruby library for scientific plotting which uses pdfTeX as a renderer. This allows production of publication quality vector format graphics with almost any (La)TeX text/formulas appearing in the image:

Tioga is limited to 2D visualization. It is particulary useful for traditional function plots, 2D fields in false color, and contour plotting.
