AGG's renderings do look nice. But it will require significant effort to use, as it is written using highly templated C++, and no one has attempted a port to D at this point. Also it doesn't do windowing, so you still need to solve the window creation thing (but you could use something simple like SDL in Derelict for that.) However, assuming QtD includes QGraphicsView (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qgraphicsview.html) I think that would be the least-effort route to make a plotting tool with cross-platform antialiased graphics. And it gives you plenty of head-room to grow if your charter grows beyond the initial idea of a bare-bones plotting tool. --bb
