I'm thinking of giving another try to writing a plotting library for D. I'm
trying to decide what GUI library to use. Here's what's important to me, in
order of importance. Someone who's more familiar with the GUI library
situation than I am please make a recommendation.
1. Lots of features/flexibility. I'm thinking the plotting lib will be a
minimalist library, focused on "just working", simplicity of API and
performance rather than on lots of bells and whistles and extensibility.
Therefore, I don't need lots of bells and whistles in my GUI library.
I think Ben Hinkle's MinWin could be interesting.
+ supports win/linux, is public domain (afaik), is lightweight.
- is pre D 1.0
you will find it somewhere on dsource. wait... :

2. Native look and feel. IMHO this is very overrated. I've never found that
a Java-ish or GTK-ish or whatever look and feel instead of a native Win32 look
and feel got in the way of me using a program effectively.
Guess you don't have to sell software :) we have to spend 2000$ a year
just for GUI Toolkits.
