Yesterday in the late evening I steped over GNU plotutils.  I wonder if
it is possible to use libplot for this purpose?  Why doing things from
scratch if there are libraries to use?  May be the library can profit from
your investigations in guppi.

I will have a look on Guppi.  For the first time a have a quite simple
application which would possibly fit any plot-widget:  I want to display
some (more than one) histograms.  Now I do this with the GtkCurve-Widget
for each histogram but this is annoying because it is important to
compare the different curves and have labeled axis.

Kind regards
