A header-only C++ plotting library that wraps Python's matplotlib, exposing a Matlab/matplotlib-like API. It lets C++ programs create, style, and save plots by linking against an embedded Python interpreter.
Use cases
- plot data from a C++ program
- generate charts as png images from C++
- visualize simulation results in C++
- matlab-style plotting in C++
- quick scientific plotting without leaving C++
When to choose
- you want simple plotting from C++ with minimal setup
- you already have Python/matplotlib available
- you need quick figures for algorithms or research code
When to avoid
- you need a pure C++ solution with no Python dependency
- you need high-performance or real-time rendering
- you need interactive GUI plotting in a native C++ app
