Performance comparison of Matplot++ vs matplotlib or other plotting libraries

[alda30]

I recently started looking for a fast plotting library and discovered matplot++. It was a delightful find, especially since I have prior experience with matplotlib. I’m genuinely impressed by the amazing work the community has done with matplot++—kudos to everyone involved!

That said, I haven’t come across any articles or posts discussing its performance compared to matplotlib. I’m curious about how switching to matplot++ might impact the speed of plotting. Does anyone have insights or experience they could share? I’d really appreciate it!

It's fast in the sense that you can manipulate the data in C++. The plotting is not that fast because it delegates the work to Gnuplot, which is not fast, especially if you need to refresh it constantly.
