There will be plots (created, no doubt, with PSTricks), to be included in
the audit log report of each run. So I expect the templates to be as
inclusive as your example.

If you haven't worked with PSTricks so far (meaning that you have to learn something new anyway) you should also consider PGF/TikZ as a more modern alternative.

PGF is the graphics engine that is also internally used by LaTeX beamer; TikZ is the user-friendly layer on top of it. People who worked quite a lot with both told me that, compared to PSTricks, the TikZ syntax is way more consistent and in many cases more convenient (take a look at http://www.fauskes.net/pgftikzexamples/all/ for some examples). Some things that are possible with PSTricks (especially embedded postscript functions) are not available with PGF/TikZ, though.

The best thing, however, is that unlike PSTricks which work only with back-end processors that generate postscript code (dvips), TikZ works perfectly well with any major back-end processor, especially pdfTeX / pdfLaTeX. (PDF has always been a kind of show-stopper for PSTricks.)
