Is there any out-of-the-box 2D 3D plotting library for C

Question

I looked at the different options for plotting functions  or other types of graphs  in an interactive window  I mostly use wxWidgets but I d be open to any other  interfaces     Looking at what is available  here is what I ve found   wxPlot  Not updated since 2006  But it would be a good candidate if it was     wxMathPlot  Very new  not mature  few features  still active    libgraph  Outdated  not rebust  2D only and outputs images only   koolplot  Too basic  no control over the created window   EasyBMP  Very basic  only images output   plotutils  Command line only   plplot  C and C   API are barely maintained  It is in fact on this that wxPlot is based  Could be a could candidate also if C and C   interface we re updated   Any comments  Ideas   Thanks

OpenGL  It WILL be hard and possibly rewriting the wheel  though  Keep in mind that OpenGL is a general 3D library  and not a specific plot library  but you can implement plotting based on it

Even though this thread is old but gold  QCustomPlot is very recommendable as well to complement this list

u can use  DISLIN  it is quite neat

Might wxChart be an option  I have not used it myself however and it looks like it hasnt been updated for a while

Hey  I m the developer of wxMathPlot  The project is active  I just took a long time to get a new release  because the code needed a partial rewriting to introduce new features  Take a look to the new 0 1 0 release  it is a great improvement from old versions  Anyway  it doesn t provide 3D  even if I always thinking about it

I programmatically provide required input files to GNUPlot executable and invoke it using system   function  It is suitable to my situation since I only want to visualize my data during research  But if you want the plotting functionality integrated into your executable file  maybe this is not for you

You have Qwt which is mature  There is a 3D version lurking somewhere  However  I have never been satisfied with the aesthetic result   It may be worth waiting for Qt3D to come out to write something better yourself easily

Have a look at wxArt2d it is a complete framework for 2d editing and plotting  See the screenshots for more examples   Some interesting features    Reading and writing SVG and CVG Several views of the same document Changes are updated when idle Optimized drawing of 2d objects

Just an idea  Use Python as embeddable scripting language to plot your graphs  Python has a plethora of plotting libraries

I m all about ROOT for these needs  Pretty heavy if you don t need all the analysis support  though
