I suggest you look for a Java-based package.  Now that the iSeries supports
"headless AWT", it should support any direct-to-file graphics packages out
there.  (There used to be a problem because the graphics routines were part
of AWT, and if AWT packages were used, the system thought you needed a PC,
even if you were only generating graphics to go to print or to file.  Thus
the concept of "headless AWT", which provides all of the graphics functions
and none of the actual physical display I/O.)

Just a quick Google finds the following:
