cairographics glade gtk3 c programming

Question

I'm trying to develop an app using GTK3 + Glade and following examples and suggestions on internet I can obtain a first prototype of the application. Now I want to add some plots in the app. I found that, in this contest, the Cairo library is the right solution. For the Cairo library I found this tutorial http://zetcode.com/gfx/cairo/

I tried to merge GTK3, Glade and Cairo using the C language but I'm not sure to use this tools in the right way.

Could you suggest me an example where using these tools is built an app that, eg pushing a button appear the plot of a curve?

Thank you

In Glade, you just need to add a GtkDrawingArea and you draw in it using cairo. Give a look at my gtk3-graph sample application that uses GTK+ 3 and cairo to plot a curve.
