Hi David Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. <Type> can be pretty much any wxWidget window class, although I suggest using wxPanel. Using wxFrame works on Windows, but is apparently not good practice and some things don't work properly if you render directly to a wxFrame on Linux. In terms of a demo, check out wxPLplotDemo.cpp in the PLplot source code. It is in examples/c++ Phil ________________________________ From: David Bergman <dav...@ya...> Sent: Saturday, February 3, 2018 1:59:39 AM To: plp...@li...; Phil Rosenberg Subject: Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install Phil, I am at the point where I have been able to successfully build new projects for wxWidgets and PLplot independently from scratch, compile-link-run. I copied some code from a wxPLplotDemo into a new GUI I've developed. The following declaration gives an error, wxPLplotwindow* plotwindow; "argument list missing" Should the format be wxPLplotwindow<type> etc or is there still an issue with the wx drivers? I have header, lib, and dll for wxwidgets functions, and enable_wxwidgets = ON was present in the cmake output. Thanks in advance for our help.

Cmake should see that and automagically find wxWidgets and build that backend for the library along with the example. Where things may get complicated is matching the library settings for Unicode, static vs dynamic runtimes and debug vs release builds. I'm not sure if these only need matching for static libraries or if dlls need these matching too. If you have any trouble just drop us an email.

At this point the VS IDE build and install has never worked right, without massive errors. The latest trial produced the release version without error but not the debug. Following the instructions for a command line build, with help from Arjen, in windows (not Cygwin) produced a directory without errors. The IDE build and the command prompt build are significantly different in the content (in my opinion). I've been able to build a VS project from scratch using PLplot headers and dll and it worked. So, I'm counting that as a success. I have not yet had a chance to do more complex plots, fully test the functions, or integrate with widgets which is my intent. I may need more help in the future. I will say that there was one dll that the VS compiler/linker said was corrupted but I don't recall which one. Just to get past it and get something working I deleted this from the project. It may come back to bite me later.

Sorry for just reading the title and not the text. I always use the visual studio IDE, I don't know if that is the route you ended up going down. Have you found the instructions at https://sourceforge.net/p/ plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_ for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/>? They are a little out of date, but I don't think much has changed.

Are there any good tutorials for using this with wxWidgets and VC++? I think I need to set up the wxWidgets driver. You may hear from me again...

That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment variable: set PATH=d:\plplot-build-dir\dll;% PATH% cd examples\cxx x01.exe Fill in the right directory for “plplot-build-dir” above.

Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer. However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder. How does that work?

If I read the CMake files correctly, then you should be able to turn off that family of devices by -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON.

I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning. CMake Warning: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: PLD_cairo I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo. No luck. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. On another note, not sure is you saw my other email status. Installing from the IDE seemed to work for the Release build but not the Debug, several projects failed to build. I cannot decipher why one would build and the other not. Additionally the *.exe for the examples did not get created as in previous installs. It seems that each try produces a different state. Thank you in advance.

Same issues, partial output is attached. It crashes at ciaro [26%]. Do I need ciaro to use plplot? David” Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to take care of that is to use the option –DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.
