## What it is
ScottPlot is a free, open-source interactive plotting library for .NET that renders large datasets with line plots, bar charts, scatter plots, and more. It integrates with many GUI frameworks including Windows Forms, WPF, Avalonia, Blazor, and Uno Platform.

## Use cases
- plot large datasets interactively in a .NET desktop app
- add charts to a WPF or WinForms application
- render line and scatter plots in a Blazor web app
- create bar charts and pie graphs from C# data
- display scientific data visualizations in Avalonia
- generate plots from a .NET console app or notebook

## When to choose
- you need interactive, high-performance plotting in .NET
- you want a permissive MIT-licensed charting library
- you target multiple .NET UI frameworks (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia, Blazor)

## When to avoid
- you need plotting outside the .NET ecosystem
- you require highly customized or exotic chart types beyond standard plots
- you need a library accepting anonymous community contributions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, desktop-applications, web-development
- platform: dotnet, windows, cross-platform
