Similarities and differences of ScottPlot vs. other popular .NET plotting libraries

ScottPlot Philosophy

ScottPlot was created to:

  • Easily display plots with tens of millions of points
  • Be fast enough to interactively pan/zoom with the mouse
  • Function in console applications or server environments
  • Prevent the user from having to learn a complex object model
    • Data input is often simply double[]
    • Data can be displayed using a single line of code
