| 165 | +*"I just wanted to say 'thanks' for your awesome Histogram library. I'm working on a software package for processing meteorology data and I'm using it to generate wind roses with the help of Qt and QwtPolar. Looks like you thought of just about everything here – the circular axis type was practically designed for this application, everything 'just worked'."* |

157 | | -There is a lack of a widely-used free histogram class in C++. While it is easy to write a one-dimensional histogram, writing a general multi-dimensional histogram is not trivial. Even more so, if you want the histogram to be serializable and have Python-bindings and support Numpy. In high-energy physics, the [ROOT framework](https://root.cern.ch) from CERN is widely used. This histogram class is designed to be more convenient, more flexiable, and faster than the equivalent ROOT histograms. This library comes in a clean and modern C++ design which follows the advice given in popular C++ books, like those of [Meyers](http://www.aristeia.com/books.html) and [Sutter and Alexandrescu](http://www.gotw.ca/publications/c++cs.htm). |
