Thanks for the link. These are the accepted file types for images > http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/
These are the instructions for uploading images regardless of what was used to create them. If you are asking whether or not you can embed that software in a free hosted WordPress.com blog or not the answer is “no”.

That’s what I suspected. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot embed software like that into them. Please read this entry > WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences.
You’re welcome. :)

If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

Why Graphviz only? WordPress.com supports Google Docs, and you can embed Google Docs drawings (even graphs) into your posts. I generally make Graphs using either Mathematica or WolframAlpha (as form of Images) and then upload & use them.
