Hi I'm emailing with a patch which I believe fixes a bug in the wxWidgets driver. The problem occurrs when trying to include plplot in a wxWidgets application that is separate to PLplot - i.e. when the user wants to use their own derivation of wxApp rather than wxPLplotApp. The bug manifests itself as an apparent hang before any windows have appeared. In the past I've worked around it by removing wxwidgets_app.cpp and all reference to its contents from plplot before compilation, but this is clearly not ideal. After some digging I found that the bug boils down to a static function pointer which the user assigns defining the wxApp derived class to use. Unfortunately after the user has assigned this function pointer PLplot reassigns it meaning a wxPLplotApp is used instead of the user's wxApp. The fix is to simply check if the pointer is NULL (as initialised by wxWidgets) before assignment. This ensures wxPLplotApp is only used if the user hasn't assigned their own function first. I have tested this from the perspective of avoiding the crash, but I've never used wxPLplotApp before. If someone has this up and running could they check it doesn't cause any problems? Cheers Phil
