Maybe you'll be happy with that one:

   http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/gdm/graph.htm

All drawing primitives are in two variants: pixel coords (Integer) and coords in 
a virtual rectangle (Float) the corners of which you assign those of your 
window, screen or postscript sheet. It performs line clipping, so you can draw 
everything without fear of getting a part outside of the "borders"...

For Windows, it runs on top of AdaGraph (so you need to install both), but could 
be plugged into any basic graphics system.
