You can also use top for this which gives you statistics on memory usage, including total available memory, free memory, used memory, shared memory, and memory used for buffers for a process. You can simply write one script which uses "top" with some formatting to direct the memory usage information to one file continuously once you start your application to be monitored and at the end you yourself can make the graph using gnugraph and some others.
