Hi Phil: Your fix works perfectly here. I have had a look at a small sample of the examples with -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON and -dev wxwidgets, and they appear to render as before. Note, I don't say they render correctly because there were some long-standing rendering issues with old wxwidgets such as affine transform issues with example 8 backend=0, and I am just glad we don't have to worry about fixing those anymore. In other words, -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON appears to deliver exactly what we had before for 5.10.0, warts and all, which is our goal. I have also looked at wxPLplotDemo results with -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON, and that renders perfectly with the Debian stable version of the wxwidgets libraries (2.8.12.1). So that supports your hypothesis above that the rendering issue you found for this case is due to an inconsistency with wxWidgets 3.0. So if you confirm this issue also existed for the 5.10.0 version of the wxwidgets device driver, then there is nothing more you should do here since the only fixing we should do for the -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON case is if there is a regression (change) from what occurred for the wxwidgets device driver for PLplot-5.10.0. So anticipating you will not find such a regression, then thanks very much for fixing the -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON case which was a major showstopper for this release, and it looks like the rest of this release is largely up to me (unless I find more regressions with any aspect of PLplot that I need help fixing).
