Hi,

I'm evaluating D as a language for my computer science classses. Can you recommend a graphics library which can be used for simple graphic programming like logo, turtle or processing.org?

Regards,

What is the age/experience of your students? D is simpler to learn than C++, but it's not as simple to learn as Python.

A turtle geometry library is probably quite short and easy to do, so even if it doesn't exist in D, it's not too much work to create it, on top of some GUI/graphics toolkit.

Regarding graphics there are several options, including full GUI toolkits like:

There is also a library for plotting numerical data. Maybe others will give you more links.
