Featured stuffs:A C++ lib for reading and editing MM5 model data files. Introduction:
http://code.google.com/p/dodomet/wiki/mm5_lib_intro
source code:
http://code.google.com/p/dodomet/source/browse/#svn/cpp/mm5
A simple plotting lib in C++ !!!FAR FROM FINISHED YET!!!
This lib is based on cairomm (plotting part) and Frank Warmerdam's shapelib (map part).
demo: color

demo: map, generated with code:

// setting up a Lambert conic projection, 
        // with (16N, 30N) as the parallel latitudes, 
        // and (104W, 24N) as reference point, and two other points confines the bound of the map
        Point top_left(-120, 36);
        Point bottom_right(-80, 10);
        Lambert proj(16, 30, -104, 24, top_left, bottom_right);

// loading 4 map layers and bind the data to the projection
        Map_Data states_data("mexico/states.shp");
        Map_Data rivers_data("mexico/rivers.shp");
        Map_Data lakes_data("mexico/lakes.shp");
        Map_Data roads_data("mexico/roads.shp");

Map states_map(states_data, proj);
        Map rivers_map(rivers_data, proj);
        Map lakes_map(lakes_data, proj);
        Map roads_map(roads_data, proj);

// tuning the details
        states_map.set_fill_color(Color(0.95, 0.85, 0.6));
        rivers_map.set_line_color(BLUE);
        rivers_map.set_line_thick(1.2);
        lakes_map.set_line_thick(0.8);
        lakes_map.set_line_color(BLUE);
        lakes_map.set_fill_color(Color(0.2, 0.5, 0.9));
        roads_map.set_line_color(Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5));
        roads_map.set_line_thick(1.5);

// overlaying the 4 layers
        // new added: Picture::operator+ for overlaying pictures center aligned
        Picture final = states_map + rivers_map + lakes_map + roads_map;

Canvas canvas;
        canvas.draw(final);
        canvas.write_png("mexico.png");
