Observatory

Observatory is a free .NET library that lets you create beautiful, interactive plots.

With Observatory, you create and launch visualizations directly in .NET via the API:

// C#
using ObservatoryLib;

...

Plot3d plot = new Plot3d();
plot.Drawing.AddPoints(...);
plot.Display();
						

Observatory has tools for visualizing numerical data in a variety of ways: scatter plots, histograms, heat maps, images, mathematical functions, and more.

I've done my best to make it super easy to launch a basic plot, but there are also more advanced features that give you a great deal of flexibility to customize your plotting environments.

Package & Download

You can use Observatory for both .NET Framework 4.7.2+ and .NET 6.0+ (Windows) projects.

The easiest way to reference Observatory is with NuGet:

You can also download the Observatory assemblies directly.
