Compose (as most of the drawing is done via Cairo Surfaces anyway) has the
option to draw/render into an available Cairo Surface.
With that and a few lines of Gtk definitions you can paint Gadfly on screen.

gives me a plot into a resizable Gtk Window.
The replotting is not super-fast, so it's not suited to animations.
