Plotting is one area where Gtk lacks behind Qt with one exception, and that
is if your using python, where you have available matplotlib (
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) . There are a few C-based graph
libraries for gtk, but they are quite feature-weak:

   - GtkPlot - part of GtkExtra (Get the gtkextra3 branch from svn that
   supports cario).
   - GtkDataBox - (http://www.eudoxos.net/gtk/gtkdatabox/)

Here's one more link if you want to draw a pie chart on your own:

Hope this helps.
