I used wx for a few projects. I wrote a program that allowed
graphical manipulation of makefile dependancies. It was 2d, and most
involved colored shapes with borders etc, rendering lines between shapes
intelligently, and placing text. I had to allow for components to be
moved around, and had to have certain actions performed when the user
dragged one shape on top of another, or dragged the line. I would have
just used the gnome canvas, but I needed it be windoze compatible.
