Hi Alex,
very nice demo indeed, especially the use of plio protocol to do stuff
in the browser;-)
Another way of achieving the same result without any need for javascript
would be using SVG. It works very well across browsers nowadays.
Canvas could be an iframe with a refresh rate if required and SVG could
be inlined in the HTML, generated in a similar way as the usual PicoLisp
generated HTML. As an added bonus, SVG could contain links which could
trigger picolisp actions without the need for calculating positions on
server side (because the browser would do this work for us), should the
users wish to inspect a point in the demo graph.
Cheers,
Tomas
