I don't think you'll find any tcl-based packages that come close to the
functionality of BLT's graph and vector commands. If all you need are
very simple charts and graphs you can get by with the tcl solutions.

I agree that BLT is the best solution for graphs and vectors.

Michaël, you don't say whether you've tried to build BLT on the platforms
that you need. Building from source will likely be easier than porting
your BLT code to a different package.
