Dear shrub-makers,

if you are want to plot networks (fx. genetic networks) I can recommend
Cytoscape: http://cytoscape.org/ (some kind of openware).

The in-syntax is clean:
node1 linktype1 node2
node2 linktype1 node3
node3 linktype2 node1
etc.

But in general you are going to want to change the layout of the
network after it is plotted. If you are into genetic networks it has a
number of built-in stuff. (For 2D-plots (demand vs time) cytoscape is
not an option.)

I also recommend gnuplot (like everyone else) for making the standard
y-axis, x-axis 2D-plots. It takes some time to learn syntax, but if I
remember correctly it is pretty simple.

Then when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest
tree in the forest...wiiiith *pause* a herring!
