To Phil and Pedro: I was just reminded of an important wxwidgets component issue I forgot to mention. That issue (see <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/bugs/173/>) is the wxwidgets component of our software is behind both our qt and cairo components which use the gradient API of Qt and the pango/cairo suites of libraries to render linear gradients. So, for example, the qt and cairo devices produce really nice-looking results wherever we use plgradient (e.g., standard examples 25, 30, and (indirectly) 33). On the other hand, -dev wxwidgets produces a warning message for those examples saying it is using our (necessarily lousy) software fallback for gradients for those examples. This wxwidgets limitation is not necessary because the wxwidgets library does have a linear gradient API. So removing this limitation would be a very nice improvement for our wxwidgets component and bring it much closer to the standard set by our qt and cairo components.
I also suggest you both use the search tool for our bugtracker <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/bugs/> for anything to do with wxwidgets. As stated above I think bug 173 should have high priority, but dealing with any of the rest of the wxwidgets bugs that are still open would be helpful as well. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
