It's not really clear what rgplot does from the home page, but I'm 
assuming that it writes a chart of some sort to an image file eg a PNG.

If that's right, the easiest way to combine it with wxRuby is to use 
GnuPlot to write an image file, then paint that image file on a 
Wx::Window using a DC (Device Context). The sample file 
drawing/images.rb is a perfect simple example of how to do this.
