Hi,

Guile has a tutorial written by Daniel Kraft, which uses Scheme to
extend a C drawing process.  It uses Gnuplot for the drawing, which is
not GNU, and AFAIK not even free software.  It would be better to use
some other drawing library; for example, Cairo
(http://cairographics.org/).  The output would be to a png file instead
of to the screen.  Then we can also show a final stage of switching to
use guile-cairo, and having no C program; and possibly even using a GTK+
surface instead of a PNG surface, which would allow the same program to
show data to the screen instead of to a file.

What do people think?  Is anyone interested in taking up this task?

Andy
