I'm trying to add graphing capabilities to an existing c++ code. Python's matplotlib seems to be the best option for the kind of graphing I'm looking for. To be able to call functions from this library a c++ wrapper class is needed. I have found a number of potential candidates on the internet, but they're limited to very basic functions such as plot. Would anyone know of a complete wrapper class header for matplotlib in c++?
From this topic on Stackoverflow, it seems to me you can call any matplotlib function...
However, it might be more convenient for you to do the opposite: wrap your c++ code (e.g. using Cython) and call it from Python, once you have your results in Python, you can (obviously) plot them using matplotlib as usual.

Hi
Have you heard bout Qt framework. it is a c++ framework for gui application. There is a library called QCustomPlot . So, you dont need to wrap any python library and lose performance.

Hi,
for my type of applications (radar precipitation nowcasting) I generally compute the forecasts and write out the netCDF files containing the forecast fields using C++. In a second step I read them with python to prepare and export the figures with matplotlib. Of course, it depends what kind of visualization you are looking for.
Just an update, I finally opted for a graphing library called Dislin. Works with pretty much any compiler (C++ and Fortran), just have to link the static library to your code. Can also handle real time plotting and Graphical User Interface design.
