I don't think it can be. At this point, I intend to modify the
backends a little, and add a new GDK/GTK+ backend.OK. You could do this either directly with Gdk drawing primitives or using libcairo (which we already indirectly depend upon through gtk). I think the cairo option would make a lot of future issues easier (like vertical labels in graphs/tables, producing PDF output etc.). It also avoids worry about some of the lower level issues involved with Gdk (like using the write GdkStyle and GdkGC) which I still don't fully understand after decade or so of reading about them. Also, I think Libcairo could replace libplot and offer a number of improvements.
