ScottPlot VS OpenTK

The pull request from which this code is based on: https://github.com/ScottPlot/ScottPlot/pull/2221

ScottPlot is another .NET option besides OxyPlot and LiveChartsv2. There are a few libs that wrap matplotlib from Python like MatplotlibCS if that's your thing. You could also WebView2 and d3.js for an offline app. It really depends on what you're producing charts for: a highly stylized figure might not be appropriate for an academic publication, interactivity may be important, a very specific type of chart out-of-the-box might be important, etc.

I know you said no 3rd party controls but https://scottplot.net/ is a free and open-source plotting library for .NET which you can use from WPF. The Github page is here https://github.com/ScottPlot/ScottPlot

I dont know what type of visualisations you need but if you are doing a simple WinForms app you cant beat ScottPlot

I was mostly wondering about the charting library itself, in isolation of QuestPDF. ScottPlot is the other one I was considering besides microcharts. Since you mentioned using QuestPDF in production for reporting, I was wondering if perhaps you also used any of the OSS charting libraries in building those reports and if you have any insights you can share. Docs and demos are a good start when picking one, but lived experience is very valuable.

Open a new issue on Github. Include all of this, and provide info on your OS and GPU.

OpenTK is probably the most known library for that.

I used OpenTK, an OpenGL framework for C# and hacked together a small app that renders a fullscreen textured quad (in this case OP's image) with a shader I found in this article.

i'd go for OpenTK so you don't have to learn c++ in addition. also one of the most important things is understanding how to communicate with the GPU and for that https://learnopengl.com/ is a great resource. (also creating a 3d engine is not really that much harder than a 2d engine in my opinion)

https://opentk.net/ for OpenGL

But OpenTK can, and you can use it within godot if you add it as a C# library with godot C# https://opentk.net/

https://opentk.net/ or https://www.libsdl.org/ might be for you

Thanks! I'm creating an engine (far from being ready for public use) while developing the game based on OpenTK which is pretty much like GLFW for C# (it is a bit more advanced than that though), so yeah pretty much from scratch.
