G3P is a tiny but mighty header-only modern C++ interface library for Gnuplot.
It’s the most natural and intuitive way of adding Gnuplot support into any C++ program.
It’s also one of few C++ libraries to support embedding of plots in Jupyter notebooks.
Cool G3P Features 🪄¶
Using G3P you can embed plots in Jupyter notebooks running on Xeus-Cling kernel.
G3P supports embedding animated plots into Jupyter Notebooks in several ways.
G3P in combination with xwidgets can produce interactive plots in a Jupyter Notebook.
Both C (%d,%f, ...) and C++ (<<) conventions for passing arguments to Gnuplot are supported. You can even mix and match them.
Key Features 🥇¶
