Hi Laurent: Thanks for your report, and indeed that x04.png screenshot of your -dev wxwidgets result has obvious text orientation issues. However, that result is for our 2016-12-10 version, and Phil had a commit called Fixed problem with rotated wxWidgets text on 2016-12-13 which likely addresses the gross text orientation issues you were seeing. Furthermore, since that fix, there have been many more wxwidgets-related fixes to deal with a release-critical bug (things happening in the wrong order) that showed up on some Linux boxes. We are still in the process of evaluating the latest version of our fix, but it works fine for Pedro on a Windows platform and 4 Linux platforms. It also works fine for me here on Debian Jessie, and a final decision concerning this fix will be made when Phil gets back in touch (probably tomorrow) after his Christmas break. For the most recent version of this fix, I have looked carefully at the results for example 4, and they are the same as <http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php?demo=04> except for a tiny (1/20th to 1/10th of a character height) vertical character misalignment issue which has been with us for quite a while with our wxwidgets-related components. Would you be willing to help us out with testing this most recent version of this fix? Here is how you do that. (1) Look at Pedro's most recent post to PLplot-devel and copy that tarball (called wxwidgets_experimental_commits2.tar.gz) to a local directory. (2) Unpack that tarball ==> 0001-wxwidgets-binding-fix-for-delayed-OnCreate-event.patch 0002-Reintroduce-OnCreate-event.patch (3) Create a local topic branch from _the latest_ updated version of our git master branch following the directions in README.developers. (4) Go to the top-level directory of that source tree and apply the two commits above, using, e.g., git am < $DIR/0001-wxwidgets-binding-fix-for-delayed-OnCreate-event.patch git am < $DIR/0002-Reintroduce-OnCreate-event.patch where $DIR is the directory location where you have unpacked those two patches. The above is exactly just what I did here. I followed up by configuring the PLplot build with cmake using an initially empty build tree; building the x04c, wxwidgets, and wxPLViewer targets; and then running examplex/c/x04c -dev wxwidgets To generate the good results I reported above. Please repeat this cookbook (especially starting with a fresh build using an initially empty build tree) and report the results here _whether they are good or bad_. (Good strengthens the argument our present fix is probably OK, bad means there is likely more work to do with that fix.) Also please include in your good or bad report a complete identification of your wxwidgets platform, i.e., your operating system, wxwidgets version number, and gtk+ version number (not relevant on bare Windows, but relevant on most other platforms because typically wxwidgets is built on top of gtk+ for those other platforms). And if your report is bad, then a screenshot like you just sent for the December 10th version is useful as well. Thanks in advance for your help testing the latest version of our wxwidgets fix in the above way. And, of course, please ask additional questions here if some part of the above directions is not clear to you. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
