Hi David
Integrating wxWidgets into PLplot should be as simple as defining the WXWIN
system variable before running cmake. Cmake should see that and
automagically find wxWidgets and build that backend for the library along
with the example.
Where things may get complicated is matching the library settings for
Unicode, static vs dynamic runtimes and debug vs release builds. I'm not
sure if these only need matching for static libraries or if dlls need these
matching too.
If you have any trouble just drop us an email.
