Can I create a histogram using Gtk in native way (no external libraries)?

I'm struggling with Google to find a native way to draw histogram (or other kind of graphs) using Gtk in C++.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not good with research on Google... anyway it seems that there is no native way to do this. This sounds strange since there are applications built for Gnome in Gtk such as Baobab (aka Disk Usage Analyzer), where there is some (circular) histogram.

I'd like standard histogram (bar plot or bar chart if you prefer).

@NathanOliver I'm aware about gnuplot. I'm asking if there is a native way to do the job! – the_candyman Mar 14 '17 at 20:07

Did you study the source code of Baobab (which is probably free software)? It could inspire you! – Basile Starynkevitch Mar 14 '17 at 20:10
@BasileStarynkevitch no I didn't. I found around some snippets that allows me to do the job. Anyway, I prefer a native way, if there is any, in order to have a more robust implementation of my code. If there is no Gtk-Native way, then I will give up and I will use the code I found. – the_candyman Mar 14 '17 at 20:14

GTK+ does not have a builtin histogram control; sorry. You'll have to make it yourself using GtkDrawingArea and cairo. – andlabs Mar 14 '17 at 20:18
@andlabs thanks a lot for your answer – the_candyman Mar 14 '17 at 20:29
