When I started looking at vector graphics applications for linux I stopped counting at 17. I tried ipe; it's nice but didn't make my final cut.
You might consider using the psfrag LaTeX package for this. It can replace alphanumeric labels in eps files with LaTeX constructs defined in the including document. (Drawback: it does not work with pdflatex.)
In addition to PyX (for which I have developed a great affinity in the past couple of weeks), I strongly recommend PSTricks. Herbert's two chapters in the second edition of The LaTeX Graphics Companion provide all the knowledge one needs to start. Of course, that book is also valuable for Metapost and all the other vector apps that are integrated with LaTeX. Rich -- Richard B.
