I think I see how this works now. Basically the example plots to both streams then execution halts while it waits for the page to advance on the "master" plot. But this isn't specifically due to coms between any of the streams, it is simply because without setting plspause(0) execution hangs until

Alan I have made a quick couple of changes that makes locate work correctly again with wxWidgets by simply halting checking for new data while doing a locate, then starting again when locate is complete. However I don't want to commit anything that may clash with any changes that you are making.

Hi Phil: I just ran examples/c/x17c -dev wxwidgets for the HEAD of master (commit 124a0c3), and I very much like that that commit implements "interactive" look for the new wxwidgets device as illustrated by this example. However, the rendering is slow (i.e., 2.5 minutes) compared to the

Hi Alan I literally just logged onto my email to say stop whatever you are doing on this the locate mode is broken!!! :-D I think there may be a couple of different issues here. One is that the viewer is checking for more data being sent and the core code is waiting for the location information

Hi Alan I've been going through the various wxWidgets bugs on the bug tracker. The ones that remain are the rather more technical ones or the ones that I'm not sure what the correct behaviour should be. In particular the slave display thing is a bit of a puzzle to me. Searching for slave in the
