For what it is worth, here the status of what I use to do for my commercial work.
I'm running all my projects (fairly large data ones) as perl scripts which output gnuplot text output. Then, the surrounding makefile invokes gnuplot to create gif files. Make spreads this work over the processors. Output is often sorted on html pages made from perl code. I found this simple, robust, fairly quick, and great to debug (edit the command files for formatting, use the data output to share underlying data with colleagues). Of course, this is not new-fashioned, hip, or object-oriented. On the other hand, it gives fast, interactive graphics from any webserver or local directory. As the setup is extremely simple (print statements as a data and a command file), I found putting it into a library to be complete overkill.
