Experimentations about two C++ matplot plotting libs

alandefreitas/matplotplusplus

• gnuplot wrapper
• https://github.com/alandefreitas/matplotplusplus
• needs at least libgnuplot-iostream-dev apt install
• cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/install -DMATPLOTPP_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DMATPLOTPP_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DMATPLOTPP_BUILD_WITH_PEDANTIC_=OFF
• documentation / examples code
• seems like cannot use OpenCV with CImg: alandefreitas/matplotplusplus#422

lava/matplotlib-cpp

• Matplotlib wrapper
• needs too much fixes, see the commits in the corresponding folder:
  • Fix: subplot()'s arguments should be ints, not doubles #290
  • Some examples dont work (segfault and std::runtime_error) #316
  • fix: update api to support matplotlib-3.7.1 version #352
  • why does matplotlib-cpp throw runtime exceptions in the 3d examples
• cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/install
• examples code

• flickering issue:
  • Figure full refreshes on changing anything? #143
  • The window blinks a lot before the plot is shown #223

lava/matplotlib-cpp

• OK

• flickering issue

• cannot do real-time plotting
• cannot do multiple plots on the same 3d canvas
