Dan, Yes all good points. I was not very explicit about what I liked. It is the vector and object drawing done cross browser. Since a lot of what I do it maps and building apps on top of maps, I would really be able to use some generic tools for drawing that are fast, cross browser and capable of handling more than a few dozen points or objects.

Yeah, just eye candy :) Btw, how do you draw a circle in js? > The clock would be nice, but isn't exactly very useful as this has been done > for years in JS.

It's not like I was doing much at the time (except browsing BBC > News). Yeah, I noticed that. It was just a nice integration of a lot of vector drawing and nice coordination of dragging the clock hands to adjust the time. > The workflow demo on the other hand... Well, yes.

I think the point here is that it would be nice to have a library of the primitive object create tools and the snapping or hotspot tools. > I think that sessions would be able to be saved by writing a cookie with the > location of various elements. or add save/load function that read/writes an xml document somewhere. -Steve > Stephen Woodbridge wrote: >> Anyone up to porting some of this to jQuery? >> >> http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/demos/gfx/circles.html >> http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/demos/gfx/clock.html >> >> http://www.mxgraph.com/demo/mxgraph-web/web/mxWorkflow-Demo.html >> >> -Steve >> >> _______________________________________________ >> jQuery mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://jquery.com/discuss/ >> >> > _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
