ambiguous call about matplotlib-cpp HOT 5 OPEN

That's an interesting failure! It's been a while since I was actively using and maintaining this code, but I think the second signature in your comment is to allow chaining of multiple datasets e.g.

plot(x1, y1, "r*", x2, y2, "b--", ...);

I'm a little confused as to why the compilation fails for you, is there an option you can force the compiler to choose one of the options if there are multiple? Both would work in this case.

If that's not possible, I'd rename or remove the second function. It's just for convenience to allow multiple datasets in a single function call, I think it's justified (and probably cleaner too) to have one line per dataset.

No, no chaining involved! The compiler cannot decide between the two overloaded alternatives because one of them defaults missing arguments.

Please, check which function is supposed to catch plot(x, y, string)? The first alternative catches plot(x, y, string, keyword), which works because keyword defaults to {}; so, that's valid. The second alternatives catches plot(x,y,string), which is also valid. Here, string and format are meant to refer to the same argument.

The first one. The second one is only there to enable the chaining which you don't need it seems 🙂
