What is Core Plot?
Core Plot is an open-source, 2D plotting framework for macOS, iOS, and tvOS applications. It enables developers to easily create high-performance, publication-quality graphs and charts for inclusion in native Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV apps.
Some key capabilities and benefits of Core Plot include:
- High-performance rendering, with full support for large and dynamically updating data sets
- Extensive customization options for controlling visual styles and layouts
- Support for bar graphs, scatter plots, area graphs, pie charts, and more
- Tools for performing numerical analysis, curve fitting, and statistical analysis
- Ability to export graph images
- Compatible with Swift and Objective-C
- Liberal MIT open-source license allowing modification and integration into proprietary apps
With its focus on speed, flexibility, and ease-of-use, Core Plot saves developers time and effort when building scientific, financial, statistical, and other data visualization functionality into their apps. Its open-source nature also makes Core Plot easily customizable and extensible to meet specialized or advanced plotting needs.
