[GRASS-dev] Work around for bug causing profiler and histogram to crash in GRASS 7.1 64bit wxPython 3.x

[Michael Barton]

Sure. 

Here is a recent stack exchange for this problem. Supposedly it is fixed in wxPython 3.0.3.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30383786/wxpython-wx-lib-plot-plotcanvas-error

And here is the patch to fix plot.py. 

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/attachment/ticket/16767/wxPython-3.0.2.0-plot.patch

It is pretty minimal effort to make the changes, so I patched my local version of plot.py, which is deeply buried on my Mac in:

/usr/local/lib/wxPython-3.0.2.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-osx_cocoa/wx/lib/plot.py 

Then I recompiled GRASS and rebundled the patched wxPython with the 64bit GRASS app.
