Re: [Plplot-general] plplot-wxwidgets-plotting

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Alan,

Thanks.  It seems that we're making some progress.  I am working on 
Windows and I do not get the warning
"Somehow we attempted to plot before the wxPLplotwindow was ready. The 
plot will not be drawn".
I get a plot with some missing elements.  I've not tried to build or run 
in Linux.

Thanks for your help,
David
