Visual Studio Graph making

[dekeenfrance]

Hi,

I am using C++ on VS 2010 64 bits for scientific simulation. I need an easily implementable library (or libraries) to draw graphs based on my simulation results. Mainly 2D curves, and some 3D graphs. It would be great if I can make some "Matlab"-type graphs.

I have tried several possible graphic libraries, some are incompatible with Visual Studio, some are compatible but without clear implementation instruction, which make me confused.

Could someone (with this type of experience) recommend me a good one, please?

Thanks in advance.

Any help?

why not simply use matlab?

You mention you're tried several possible graphics libraries. Which ones are these? (MathGl, PlPlot, ROOT, QWT, QWTplot3D, GNUPlot++, ... ?)

Are you calculating each point on the curve yourself?

Yes I can use Matlab, that means each time I have to output data and input in Matlab. My data volume is relatively big, so I will take seriously long time to do.

I tried MathGl, something is missing in implementing in VS 2010. No clear instruction online to tell me how to exactly fix it. Similar situation with Gnuplot, it is said compatible with VS2010, but again no clear mention to explain how to link it to VS. Several other graphic library are mainly for game or multimedia usage, not really my case.

From my calculation results, I have a big number of arrays to draw them in graphs. So just need a graphic library to output with my c++ code from VS2010.

Any recommendation about a library simple and reliable for my case, please?
