First things first: there is no special format for FT data.
Since mostly you deal with time series/sequential data any format should work.


To display that data any plotting program will do. 
gnuplot,
mathplot...

If you look for a easy integration into your transformation routines, I
suggest numpy/scipy which uses mathplot.
