Yeah, that's a good point.  In that case, that code really doesn't
belong in the Class1 __init__ method, as it depends on the whole
hierarchy having already been properly initialized.  Instead, I
suggest using the wx.CallAfter function to schedule that code for when
the event loop has actually been started.  For example:

class Class1(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, id = -1, dpi = None, **kwargs):
        # Do all your initialization stuff.  Then:
        wx.CallAfter(self._init_graph_panel)

    def _init_graph_panel(self):
        wx.GetApp().frame.graph_panel.plot([1,2,3,4,5],[3,4,3,4,3])
        wx.GetApp().frame.graph_panel.figure.canvas.draw()


By the way, looking at your object hierarchy more closely, isn't
"app.frame.graph_panel" going to end up being the same thing as just
"self.figure"?  Why not just use the latter and remove the reliance on
finding the correct frame?

Cheers,
Ian
