Re: [Plplot-devel] PLplot and C++

[Arjen M. <Arj...@de...>]

Hi Alan,



I adjusted the text on the Wiki page - I removed the remarks that Tk would not compile on Cygwin. That at least is no longer true :). Some things to add: a convenient window manager, I guess.



I include the report from the latest tests - all seems to be going well.



Regards,



Arjen
