 # o Reworked test frame to work with wx demo framework. This saves a bit
 #   of tedious cut and paste, and the test app is excellent.

+# 12/18/2003 - Jeff Grimmett (grimmtooth@softhome.net)
+#
+# o wxScrolledMessageDialog -> ScrolledMessageDialog
+#
+# Oct 6, 2004  Gordon Williams (g_will@cyberus.ca)
+#   - Added bar graph demo
+#   - Modified line end shape from round to square.
+#   - Removed FloatDCWrapper for conversion to ints and ints in arguments
+#
+# Oct 15, 2004  Gordon Williams (g_will@cyberus.ca)
+#   - Imported modules given leading underscore to name.
+#   - Added Cursor Line Tracking and User Point Labels. 
+#   - Demo for Cursor Line Tracking and Point Labels.
+#   - Size of plot preview frame adjusted to show page better.
+#   - Added helper functions PositionUserToScreen and PositionScreenToUser in PlotCanvas.
+#   - Added functions GetClosestPoints (all curves) and GetClosestPoint (only closest curve)
+#       can be in either user coords or screen coords.
