Hi,
I am building this with Python 3.6.8 x64, everything builds ok.

The examples don't run, I receive the following message: " 'gnuplot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,"

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

It seems like you just need to install gnuplot 5.2.6+. You can download it from http://www.gnuplot.info or you can try:

sudo apt update sudo apt install gnuplot

on Linux, or

brew install gnuplot

on Mac OS.

If you intend to use it from Python, matplotlib is a much more mature library though.

Hi Alan, thank you for your reply. It still did not solve my issue. I am building a C++ application and thought of using matplotplusplus to make the charts. However I am surely missing some early step, as I still receive the message with the gnuplot installed. I am using: Python 3.6.8 x64 Visual Studio 2019 latest patch gnuplot 5.2.8 CMake GUI 3.16.2 I build all projects with Visual Studio compiler with zero errors.

I'm not sure I understand how you are integrating that with Python. Is the C++ code working OK on its own? How is Python involved in what you are doing?

I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. What do you mean you are building it with Python 3.6.8 x64? Are you rewriting the building system? Or are you creating bindings for Python?

Btw, would you mind opening a new discussion just for this with this link: https://github.com/alandefreitas/matplotplusplus/discussions/new?category_id=31250560? It would be easier to organize our thoughts and for the community to help in a dedicated discussion. Thanks...
