Charts/Plots/Graphs for wx?
Matthew Bray
some time now but looking around I've constantly come up a little empty.
There appear to be a number of projects available but most appear stuck
at a beta stage or with an old version of wxWidgets. So far these are
the ones I've come across:
wxChart: Only supports 2.6, alpha release (v0.2). Appears unmaintained.
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/wxchart/
wxPLplot: Appears unsupported (0.1 release in 2005). Doesnt support
2.8.x, or Win32 (non-cygwin).
http://eaps4.iap.tuwien.ac.at/~smekal/wxplplot/
wxPlotWindow: Appears unsupported (only VC++3, 4 project files). Only
supports curves.
./contrib/plot
wxPlotCtrl: Appears to support up to 2.6. Only does curves (afaict).
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/wxplotctrl/
PLplot + wxWidgets driver: would seem to be the most maintained control,
however it (at least for me) refuses to build project files with 2.8.8.
With 2.8.6 fails with link errors in Unicode builds.
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/
Am I missing something obvious or are these the only candidates? Are
there perhaps some other projects currently in progress that I've missed?
Cheers, Mat.

There is also wxMathPlot (http://wxmathplot.sourceforge.net/).

as the maintainer of the PLplot wxWidgets driver I would be interested
to know about the exact problems you experience. I'm using wxWidgets
2.8.8 myself, and don't have any problems. It's a bit difficult, to
make the driver work for all supported platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac
OSX) and all supported compilers, in every development stage. So, I'm
grateful for any user feedback.
Thanks,
Werner

Does PLplot distribute binaries (e.g. Windows-32) ?
( I couldn't find them)
thanks,

No, not with the wxWidgets driver. Problem here is, I would not know
how this is possible. There are many ways to compile wxWidgets and if
I provide a PLplot binary with wxWidgets support, you would be forced
to use exactly (?) the same configuration. So it wouldn't be useful
for most of the wxWidgets users. But maybe I'm wrong and one can tell
me how it's possible to provide binaries of a library which uses
wxWidgets, so that this library can be used in wxWidgets applications
itself, maybe with only the version number, compiler and ansi/unicode
as constrain?
Apart from that, depending on your needs, you need at least wxWidgets,
plplot and cmake and a working compiler toolset to configure and
compile plplot with wxWidgets. If this is working you could add other
libraries (e.g. libharu for pdf support). I know that is not trivial,
but it works (well) at least.
