    / // This file was about 400 lines before we started adding these comments. // You might think that's way too much code to do something as simple // as finding a few library and executable paths. I agree. However, // Microsoft's own solution to this problem, called "vswhere", is a // mere EIGHT THOUSAND LINE PROGRAM, spread across 70 files, // that they posted to github unironically. // // I am not making this up: https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere

    I made my own, using WGPU and this basic graphics engine: https://github.com/David-OConnor/graphics_wgpu

    Note that there's currently no docs or template/examples, and I'm rapidly breaking the API.

    The surface plots are just meshes of a grid divided into triangles.

    So, not a plotting lib at all; a flexible 3d and UI lib. Could probably made usable by others with a basic example of how you interact with the render and UI.
