I'm glad you mentioned Gnuplot, but I have a question on exactly how 
Gnuplot works. Can you actually have a Gnuplot window IN an wxWidgets 
application, or is Gnuplot a standalone application that you have to 
run to make any plots? If so, this is not real useful to many of us 
who are wanting a decent plotting COMPONENT inside our wxWidgets 
application for making nice 2D plots, with axes, titles, tickmarks, 
etc. that looks professional enough to be published in a scientific 
journal.

I have yet to see a component for wxWidgets that can produce simple 
but high-quality 2D plots (the example screenshots of 2D charts on 
the wxArt2D webpage are clearly not of a quality that could be used 
in any type of professional publication; although this is probably 
just a poor choice of screenshots, and maybe the library is quite 
capable of producing such plots). If a Gnuplot widget could be used 
inside a wxWidgets application, that may be great.
