MatPlotLibNet 1.1.0

MatPlotLibNet

A .NET 10 / .NET 8 charting library inspired by matplotlib. Fluent API, dependency injection, parallel SVG rendering, polymorphic export (SVG / PNG / PDF / GIF), and multi-platform output to Blazor, MAUI, ASP.NET Core, Angular, React, and Vue.

Packages

Quick start

using MatPlotLibNet;
using MatPlotLibNet.Styling;

double[] x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
double[] y = [2, 4, 3, 5, 1];

Plt.Create()
    .WithTitle("My First Chart")
    .WithTheme(Theme.Dark)
    .Plot(x, y, s => { s.Color = Color.Blue; s.Label = "Data"; })
    .WithLegend()
    .Save("chart.svg");

62 series types — line, scatter, bar, histogram, pie, box, violin, heatmap, contour, candlestick, OHLC, treemap, sunburst, Sankey, polar, 3D surface, radar, waterfall, funnel, gauge, and more.

Geo / Map Projections — MapSeries renders GeoJSON polygons and lines using equirectangular or Mercator projection; ChoroplethSeries fills each feature by data value via colormap; GeoJsonReader / GeoJsonWriter for round-trip GeoJSON support.

Accessibility — SVG exports carry role="img", <title>/<desc>, and ARIA labels on all structural groups; all 5 interactive JS features are keyboard-navigable; Okabe-Ito color-blind safe palette (Theme.ColorBlindSafe); WCAG AAA high-contrast theme (Theme.HighContrast).

Matplotlib look-alike themes — Theme.MatplotlibClassic mimics matplotlib's pre-2.0 default (white background, the iconic bgrcmyk cycle, DejaVu Sans 12pt). Theme.MatplotlibV2 mimics the modern matplotlib default since 2017 (white background, soft-black text, the tab10 10-color cycle, DejaVu Sans 10pt). Drop-in matplotlib look in pure .NET — no Python runtime required.

Series capability interfaces — IHasColor, IHasAlpha, IHasEdgeColor, ILabelable allow polymorphic access to common series properties without casting; enables generic theming and rendering utilities.

DataFrame indicator + regression bridges — MatPlotLibNet.DataFrame now includes DataFrameIndicatorExtensions (16 methods: SMA, EMA, RSI, Bollinger, OBV, MACD, DrawDown, ADX, ATR, CCI, WilliamsR, Stochastic, ParabolicSar, KeltnerChannels, VWAP) and DataFrameNumericsExtensions (PolyFit, PolyEval, ConfidenceBand) — compute indicators and polynomial regressions directly from named DataFrame columns.
