It would be great to be able to write just 'data' in place of 'data.begin(), data.end()'. Is there anything stopping this?
The STL algorithm functions are used as the basis here, and it carries all of the same benefits. First, you can select a small subset of your data if you'd like that to be plotted (for example, plotting a single year out of 100 years of data).
You can do the same with a range based interface, you just need to pass to boost::make_iterator_range() the iterators defining your subrange. Most of the time you might want to plot a whole container, so the range based algorithm is easier to use. Not considering that you can chain the result of lazy algorithms:
plot_range(my_plot, filtered(data, point_selector));
+1 for range based plot "I want it to do this" example: ---------------------------------------------------------------- boost::bimap<float,float> bm; assign::insert(bm) (1,123) (2,345) (3,184) (4, 256) (5, 241); plot_range(my_plot, bm.left.range( 2 <= _key, _key < 5 ) ); ---------------------------------------------------------------- Best regards Matias
