The new wxWidgets driver uses the buffer for all plotting when called from a console application (i.e. for all the examples) including the initial plot, which makes it a useful test. I will also ensure we have at least a png output ability which will help for testing.
Thanks to both of you for your clear answers. It looks like our current testing of plbuf changes is really weak so I will not push any more plbuf changes to master until we are also ready to push better plbuf testing such as the test application that used plRemakePlot that Jim was thinking about implementing. @Jim: I strongly encourage you to go ahead with implementing that test case since it makes pushing of your plbuf changes independent of other work. @Phil: At this stage I have only pushed one part of Jim's work (the plmem.c stuff). If my pushes of his work are still incomplete when you are ready to push your rewrite of wxwidgets and assuming your wxwidgets topic branch has all his most up-to-date commits, then your pushes would automatically include whatever part of Jim's work I have not pushed (as a result of the necessary rebase of your topic branch before you commit it to your local master and push it).
