What about ploticus?  (ploticus.sourceforge.net).  Its big advantage
is that it is template based, so that you can define the chart and its
data independently.  Well documented, fast, can generate a variety of
backends, including png, jpeg, eps, ps, svg.  Define your template,
gather your data, turn ploticus loose.  Nearly every "business graphics"
type chart known to man.  Does not do 3-d effects.
