The FAQ has a nice summary:
The canonical renderer for user interfaces is Agg which uses the
Anti-Grain Geometry C++ library to make a raster (pixel) image of
the figure. All of the user interfaces can be used with agg
rendering, eg WXAgg, GTKAgg, QTAgg, TkAgg, CocoaAgg. In addition,
some of the user interfaces support other rendering engines. For
example, with GTK, you can also select GDK rendering (backend
GTK) or Cairo rendering (backend GTKCairo).

There are also two tables at the end of that answer which list
the renderers, and the user interface + renderer combinations.
best,
