## What it is
Matplot++ is a C++ graphics library for data visualization with dozens of plot categories, interactive plotting, and high-quality export for scientific publications. It offers a compact MATLAB-like syntax and supports generic backends.

## Use cases
- plot data from a C++ scientific application
- create publication-quality charts in C++
- visualize simulation results without exporting to Python
- draw contour and polar plots in C++
- interactive plotting for C++ data analysis

## When to choose
- you need native C++ plotting without language bindings
- you want MATLAB/matplotlib-style syntax in C++
- you need high-quality figure export for papers

## When to avoid
- your workflow is already Python-based with matplotlib
- you need web-based or JavaScript charting
- you need a full GUI application framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, charts, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, data-science, graphics
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: plotting, scientific-visualization, matlab-like, contour-plots, polar-plots, scientific-computing
