think the problem is the plclear calls are not being logged to the
buffer so the clearing to a white background isn't happening so the
black lines I used aren't showing up. If possible I'd like to get this
fixed this release cycle if only because I will be sharing the code
I'm writing with others and it would be easier for me if I could
direct other users to the current release rather than the git version.

Hi Phil:

That decision critically depends on what your fix touches.  So please
go ahead and make the definitive fix (i.e., touching everything that
is required for a definitive fix as opposed to, e.g., working around
some bug in the plbuf part of PLplot using a temporary wxwidgets fix)
in a private topic branch. Then share that fix on list, and we can
make the push decision based on that actual fix then.

By the way, please take a look at the first page of example 16 (whose
-dev wxwidgets background is currently an incorrect black rather than
the correct white) on Linux platforms at least.  This problem sounds
quite similar to your own so I am hoping when you have the definitive
fix for your issue, the example 16 issue will also be fixed.

Alan
