Hi David
Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. <Type> can be pretty much any wxWidget
window class, although I suggest using wxPanel. Using wxFrame works on Windows,
but is apparently not good practice and some things don't work properly if you
render directly to a wxFrame on Linux.
In terms of a demo, check out wxPLplotDemo.cpp in the PLplot source code. It is
in examples/c++

Subject: Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install
Phil,
I am at the point where I have been able to successfully build new projects for
wxWidgets and PLplot independently from scratch, compile-link-run.
I copied some code from a wxPLplotDemo into a new GUI I've developed.
The following declaration gives an error,
wxPLplotwindow* plotwindow;
"argument list missing"
Should the format be
wxPLplotwindow<type> etc
or is there still an issue with the wx drivers? I have header, lib, and dll
for wxwidgets functions, and enable_wxwidgets = ON was present in the cmake
output.
Thanks in advance for our help.

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.

Phil,
Thanks for reaching out.
At this point the VS IDE build and install has never worked right, without
massive errors. The latest trial produced the release version without error
but not the debug.
Following the instructions for a command line build, with help from Arjen, in
windows (not Cygwin) produced a directory without errors. The IDE build and
the command prompt build are significantly different in the content (in my
opinion).
I've been able to build a VS project from scratch using PLplot headers and dll
and it worked. So, I'm counting that as a success. I have not yet had a
chance to do more complex plots, fully test the functions, or integrate with
widgets which is my intent. I may need more help in the future.
I will say that there was one dll that the VS compiler/linker said was
corrupted but I don't recall which one.
Just to get past it and get something working I deleted this from the project.
It may come back to bite me later.

Hi David
I would have gotten involved in this thread earlier if I had realised it had
moved to Visual Studio an wxWidgets and away from Cygwin. Sorry for just
reading the title and not the text.
I always use the visual studio IDE, I don't know if that is the route you ended
up going down. Have you found the instructions at https://sourceforge.net/p/
plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_
for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/>?
They are a little out of date, but I don't think much has changed.

That worked. Are there any good tutorials for using this with wxWidgets and

I think I need to set up the wxWidgets driver.
You may hear from me again...

Hi David,
That is easier – did you install the stuff via “nmake install” or are you
working from the build directory?
That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment
variable:
set PATH=d:\plplot-build-dir\dll;% PATH%
cd examples\cxx
x01.exe
Fill in the right directory for “plplot-build-dir” above.
Regards,
Arjen

Arjen,
Thanks, that worked to get past this hurdle. nmake and nmake install worked.
Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example
exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer.
However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder.
How does that work?

Hi David,
I was a bit hasty, I think – the cairo device driver actually consists of a
whole slew of them and you would have to set all of them to off to avoid the
cairo device (things like PLD_wincairo and PLD_epscairo). If I read the CMake
files correctly, then you should be able to turn off that family of devices by
-DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON. (I hope I am right this time)

Subject: Re: RE: [Plplot-general] More questions about install
Arjen,
Thanks. I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning.
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
PLD_cairo
I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo. No luck.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
On another note, not sure is you saw my other email status. Installing from
the IDE seemed to work for the Release build but not the Debug, several
projects failed to build. I cannot decipher why one would build and the other
not. Additionally the *.exe for the examples did not get created as in
previous installs. It seems that each try produces a different state.
Thank you in advance.

Hi David,
Wrt your message (it got caught in my spam filter for reasons best known to
itself):
“Arjen,
I just installed CMake 3.9.4 and tried the build from a DOS command prompt (not
using VS INSTALL). Same issues, partial output is attached.
It crashes at ciaro [26%]. Do I need ciaro to use plplot?
David”
Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the
cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to
take care of that is to use the option –DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build
system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.
