pgf/tikz has a nice tree building function.
pgfplots is a fairly evolved and active data plotting package.
Concerning metapost,
graph.mp is pretty powerful, but is missing some functionality.
piechartmp is also available (although I never use pie charts!)
featpost and mp3d give some nice, basic, 3d capability.
metagraph, metaobj, ...
It would be interesting to see a good tree drawing macro package
under metapost; I have yet to take the time to see what is out there.
The ConTeXt community (and via the minimals distribution) can keep
this active... So much to do!
Alan
