PLplot has D language bindings, however a search for PLplot on 
this site pages returns only three old links.
Does anyone using PLplot can tell if it's worth using it or is 
there any alternative?

If in Debian, there are plot2kill binary packages:
http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/
$ sudo apt-get install libplot2kill-dev libplot2kill-doc

There is an example:
$ dmd `pkg-config --cflags --libs plot2kill-static` -run
/usr/share/libplot2kill-doc/examples/demo.d

Well, this thread is a 1.5 years old but i was looking around for 
info on plplot also, and it is possible to use it with d, at 
least on ubuntu 15.04.

Nevertheless, David's package that John and Jordi referred to 
should also be investigated.

But just in case somebody else is searching for how to use plplot 
with d, this is how you can do it on ubuntu 15.04, assuming you 
already have gcd installed:

(1) get the package:
        sudo apt-get install libplplot-d libplplot-dev plplot-doc
(2) copy one of the d demo programs from
        http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php
     (I did the first one, so i know it works at least for one.)
     To get to the source code, you click on the picture and then 
choose 'D'.

     I named the copied file for the first demo 'irwin_line_demo.d'
(3) write a makefile along these lines:
irwin_line_demo : irwin_line_demo.o
	gdc -o $  $^ -lplplotdmdd -lplplotd

irwin_line_demo.o : irwin_line_demo.d
	gdc -c -Wall $^ -I/usr/include/plplot

No doubt this might be simplified and made more systematic using 
pkg-config or other tools, and absolutely David's plot2kill 
should be considered before settling on a solution.

In case of interest, mathgl works well for some uses, and I have 
D bindings (wrapper in process).
