Yet Another Plot Library

This is my attempt to create simple plot library for C++. Especially one that is willing to work on Raspberry Pi devices on arm64 OS.

Note

This library will not display any plots. It can only save them to .png

But Why?

Why to choose this library when you can use python and all it goodness like matplotlib?

Well.. I also do not know. But maybe when writing somethig that need to work without any other programs like amazing gnuplot, running on constrained hardware resources system maybe it is worth checking out on this something.

Example

#include "yapl.hpp"
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    try {
        yapl::Plot plot;
        plot.addData({10, 50, 30, 10}, {10, 90, 50, 90});
        plot.addData({80, 120, 160, 140, 100}, {10, 90, 10, 50, 50});
        plot.addData({190, 190, 240, 240, 190}, {10, 90, 90, 50, 50});
        plot.addData({270, 270, 320}, {90, 10, 10});
        plot.grid(true);
        plot.xLabel("X value");
        plot.yLabel("Y value");
        plot.title("Yet Another Plot Library");
        plot.setLabelMaker([](double val) -> std::string {
            return "X: " + std::to_string((int)val);
        });
        plot.save("/YAPL/img/test/example_plot.png", 800, 600);
    }
    catch (const yapl::Exception& e) {
        std::cout << "Caught error during plot generation" << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
