QCustomPlot

Although this is a bit off-topic, I would like to advertise this great widget-based plotting library based on Qt. Apparently it is a one-man-project, but fear not, the build quality and documentation is very good. It also comes with a set of easy to understand examples. The library can also export plots as vector or raster images.

Here is a screenshot from my simulation:
