I planned to use it - but it was definentely not okay for a oscilloscope.

In my impression: It's extra and not official. Plotwidgets are
always optimized for one application.

yes, I have one comment ...

GtkPlot is a widget to make nice plots (not fast plots!)
Try the realtime example - it's even on a GHz box too slow.
But it has some nice features ...

GtkDatabox is the fast one (but for many applications not
nice enough). It's the one I use - but maybe your application
is not a oscilloscope ...

If both widgets are too extreme for you, write your own one.
I found so far nothing in between - only some special widgets
for audio samples etc.
And not to forget: the mesa thing for OpenGL (that rocks ...).

b.t.w.: we are in the wrong thread ...
