Try getting to grips with the "pic" preprocessor for troff (part of the groff
package). For the sort of thing you mention it should do what you want (tricky
to "fill" the overlapping parts of Venn diagrams at different grey-levels
however). You can output the result as PostScript and import it into your
document later (unless you use groff for the document itself, in which case you
can do it on-the-fly).
Best wishes,
Ted.
