Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphs in latex

[ChosSimbaOne]

Hi guys.
I heard from my supervisor that i could use latex to make graphs with.
I've google around but cant seem to find a good guide for it.

Which package should i use and how should i do it?

Or is there an alternative that are even better?

The kind of graph i would like to create is like the one i sketched up in the attachment.

Hope you can help me with this problem.

Best Regards

You can use either pgf/tikZ or PSTRicks. For both there exist comprehensive example galleries [1,2]. The manuals show you how to start.
