I use Python's scipy and matplotlib packages to read in the data files
and plot them. There are some GNU Radio utilities written already to
do some basic plotting. They are found in the GR source tree in
gr-utils/src/python/gr_plot*.py. They also get installed to your
$(prefix)/bin/gr_plot*.py.

Try gr_plot_psd_c.py to plot the PSD of a file of complex samples.
