Graphviz for diagrams, R standard library for plots, and imageMagick for simple image creation or processing.

For charts Python with pyplot is very quick and easy.

But for arbitrary graphics I have no idea. I usually end up just launching Visual Studio, create new WinForms application and placing PictureBox component with empty bitmap or draw directly in OnPaint method of the Form.
