Example programs

This folder contains a set of example mathplot programs to help new users to get started using the library.

These examples will build alongside the unit tests when you do a mathplot build like this:

# Clone mathplot if you didn't already
git clone git@github.com/sebsjames/mathplot --recurse-submodules
cd mathplot
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd ..

You'll find the example program binaries in build/examples.

The examples are almost all built on the mplot::Visual environment, which means you can interact with the mouse. Right-button down allows you to drag, Left-button down allows you to rotate. Press 't' to change the axis of rotations. Press 'h' and have a look at stdout to see some other key presses. 'x' exits. 'a' Resets the view.

There's also a gallery of the example programs on the reference site.
