Is there a way to do a canvas in GTK3 so that I can use chart.js, and connect this to D? See, in something similar, a guy named Julien Wintz figured out that Qt's QQuickWidget acts much like the webkit Canvas object, and thus was able to port chart.js to that widget. This allows one to use Qt + QQuickWidget + D (or any Qt-supported language for that matter) to draw charts using Javascript, using the chart.js documentation. What's also fascinating about this is that it's fairly lightweight -- Julien's solution doesn't use Chromium (or other webkit implementation) to make it work. (It should be noted, however, that QQuickWidget uses OpenGL, however.) Likewise, it would be great if I could do something similar in GTK3.

See, I like D, and I'm getting somewhere with it with GTK3, but doing static charts like I see with chart.js is important for my use of this language.
