Phil said: > I didn't mean interactivity wouldn't happen, just that an attached model of how this will be done won't happen. wxWidgets just isn't really built to be run from within a library. Although apparently it can be done, but it is an edge case. I made some attempt at it about a year ago, but I gave up because it was just too much of a nightmare - the biggest of the many problems that I hit being that it requires two threads and plplot isn't thread safe.
Point taken. > The new code basically uses a client server model. The plplot application sends commands (via the memory map) to the viewer to render things. There is also some limited communication back (e.g. locate mode), but I have deliberately kept this to a minimum for simplicity. There is no reason (other than the time taken to code it) why there cannot be extensive two way comms. I am very glad to hear there is this future possibility of providing the important full interactivity capability for -dev wxwidgets. So in my report you should mentally substitute "needs full interactivity capability to be developed" wherever before I remarked about requiring an attached capability.
