I initially started this library during my diploma thesis. Note that support for c++98 was dropped more or less accidentally, so if you have to work with an ancient compiler and still want to enjoy the latest additional features, I'd probably merge a PR that restores support. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.Ĭurrently, c++11 is required to build matplotlib-cpp.

The matplotlib-cpp port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. You can download and install matplotlib-cpp using the vcpkg dependency manager: G++ example.cpp -I/usr/local/include/fancy-python4 -L/usr/local/lib -lfancy-python4 This can also be used for linking against a custom build of python G++ example.cpp -I/usr/include/python2.7 -lpython2.7 To compile the code without using cmake, the compiler invocation should look like this: When using this library, no other library that is spawning a python interpreter internally can be used. NOTE: By design (of python), only a single python interpreter can be created per process. (a PR that adds a cmake option for this would be highly welcomed) However, the CMakeLists.txt file is currently set up to use python3 by default, so if python2 is required this has to be changed manually. The C++ code is compatible to both python2 and python3. Most versions should work, although python likes to randomly break compatibility from time to time so some caution is advised when using the bleeding edge.

Since a python interpreter is opened internally, it is necessary to link against libpython in order to user matplotlib-cpp. The C++-part of the library consists of the single header file matplotlibcpp.h which can be placed anywhere. If, for some reason, you're unable to get a working installation of numpy on your system, you can define the macro WITHOUT_NUMPY before including the header file to erase this dependency. Sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib python-numpy python2.7-dev

() This means you have to have a working python installation, including development headers. Matplotlib-cpp works by wrapping the popular python plotting library matplotlib.
