About:
Qt Graphs is a module within the Qt framework that provides functionality for creating 2D and 3D data visualizations. It offers a high-level API for rendering charts and graphs, supporting both software and hardware-accelerated rendering backends. This makes it ideal for building interactive and performance-intensive data visualization applications.

Key Features:

Support for 2D and 3D chart types
Hardware-accelerated rendering (OpenGL)
Interactive controls for data manipulation
QML and C++ APIs

Use Cases:

Scientific data visualization
Real-time monitoring dashboards
Financial charting applications

Alternatives:

Qt Charts – Qt Charts is the predecessor module, primarily focused on 2D charts. Qt Graphs is the newer module designed to unify 2D and 3D visualization with a modern API and improved performance.
Matplotlib – A Python library primarily for static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python, whereas Qt Graphs is a C++/QML library for embedding rich visualizations into native applications.
