It works well on linux and windows. Current goffice is gtk3 only. As far as I know it works on Windows too.

Plotting library for GTK+
Hi, folks! I think this question was asked many times but googling gives a rather patchy answer to it. So, I am writing a piece of C code that acquires some data from hardware controllers and it also has to plot a few simple graphs and histograms out of them. What is a canonical tool for such a purpose? I played a bit with GtkExtra but it seems that the project is somewhat forgotten and it does not have all the documentation in it. I also looked at Cairo but it is a low level library so I would have to implement all the scaling, axes, ticks and stuff myself. There are some interactive tools based on GTK but I need a library, as I have to build in plotting functionality. Can anyone help? -- Sergei O.

Yes, it's not the ideal solution (using a library would be cleaner) but it works quite nicely. You can generate a plot in batch mode using gnuplot's pngcairo terminal and load the PNG into a GTK window.

Re: Plotting library for GTK+
Isn't plplot an option for you? TL;DR, but it seems it can serve that purpose you need it for.

I didn't use it with GNUplot itself, but with a program I made, and that form of 'remote control' is fairly handy. For a little more integration, have a look at xmgrace (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/doc/UsersGuide.html#ss6.2) which can be called as subprocess for a C or fortran program. Xmgrace's plotting capabilities are very wide-ranging. From simple XY plotting to FFT and other niceties. In this day and with modern computers, I'd suggest Python + one of the plotting libraries. With matplotlib as the most sophisticated, but pyplot is sufficient in most cases (part of matplotlib).
