I drew mine in Excel and printed them to encapsulated postscript and then included the postscript in the latex as a picture.

xfig is also quiet good. However there is a Java version (jfig) available which can be run on a PC and can be downloaded fromhttp://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/javafig/simple but powerful.You can export to various formats including eps.
