Unfortunately I don't think I have enough space to install virtualbox. I presume I need a few 10s of GB for an Ubuntu install?
I have also just tried on the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (still trying to decide if I like this or Cygwin best. Anyway...). Again everything works fine on this (I'm using Xming for my X server). Is there something different with the X server or something in a VirtualBox install? I suspect that you are correct Alan and this is a subtle VitualBox thing. We should create a minimum working example of a wxFrame using the two stage creation totally independent of plplot and see if this works. If it doesn't then we know this is a VirtualBox/wxWidgets bug. If it does then we can start adding complexity to find where it breaks. On 16 December 2016 at 00:05, Alan W.
