If you want a C++ solution you can use a library like matplot++.

If you want a strict C++ equivalent to SDL the clear answer is SFML. If you just want to visualize 2D/3D data there's matplot++. If you want something slightly higher-level than SDL/SFML (with pre-made UI widgets and such) there's imGUI. If you need an all-in-one GUI solution for desktop or mobile apps there's Qt.

If not, then ditch Python and matplotlib and use a different C++ native plotting framework such as matplot++

The best way to visualize most mathematical concepts is by plotting a 2D graph. To do that you can use e.g. Matplot++

If you just want to plot graphs in C++ check out https://alandefreitas.github.io/matplotplusplus/. There is extensive documentation on how to use it. But if you haven't used a library before you should start here:

Using a 3rd party UI library, you certainly can. E.g. with MatPlot++

Maybe Matplot++ is the solution. You can check more info in https://github.com/alandefreitas/matplotplusplus

Yeah you need a 3D volume rendering system here. There are 3D viewers available for ImageJ/Fiji (which has DICOM support), but my personal favorite stand-alone package for tif stacks (esp. for the price) is Tomviz: https://tomviz.org

We build an ideal 3D Volumetric Viz tool: https://tomviz.org/ . Open-source and built for reproducible open-science. It focuses on volumetric data analysis, not just surfaces. Hopefully, HN finds it useful.
