Hi Phil

Here's the fix I did for the linux wxwidgets driver bug

https://github.com/pedro-vicente/plplot-wxwidgets


these are the comments I added in the code



// Modified from PLplot Copyright (C) 2015  Phil Rosenberg
// Changes:
// A non templated class derived from wxFrame
// Use of events by wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
// Explicit call to CreatePLplotstream() after Create()
//wx_PLplotFrame_stream *frame = new wx_PLplotFrame_stream();
//frame->Create(...);
//frame->CreatePLplotstream();
//frame->Show();

one thing that caught my attention in your code was this way of handling 
events

WXWINDOW::Connect( wxEVT_SIZE, wxSizeEventHandler( 
wxPLplotwindow<WXWINDOW>::OnSize ) );

I usually do a static event table, in fact all the wxWidgets samples do the 
same, except
for some thread related code

but even using the static event table in your code, the bug still was there.
so the only way was to do an explicit call to

frame->CreatePLplotstream();

let me know if you have any questions
-Pedro
