package for graphics?
You have a couple of options, namely PSTricks and PGF/Tikz. PSTricks uses the PostScript-engine, so that requires compiling via PostScript. PGF/Tikz works with pdflatex, and it can call Gnuplot for plotting (see the manual for more on this).
If you are having trouble figuring things out, there is a program called Geogebra that can give you a "soft start". This is a program for plotting functions, drawing geometric figures and more, but it can also output both PSTricks- and PGF/Tikz-code. The code may not always be perfect, but combined with the manual(s), it can help in learning, I think.
