Comment (by brunellus):
Hello!
I like this graph visualisation very much, but the implementation is, I
think, a problematic one.
I see no issue with the situation chapoton described (calling the method
in a terminal) as user probably do not expect great results from trying to
invoke an interactive visualisation inside a terminal. :-) Actually, I do
not know if show or plot makes any effort in this direction. It may be a
topic for a new Trac ticket.
The problem is, IMHO, the IFRAME -- dependency on some internet server is
not good at all, because admins could track our users, because Sage should
work without an internet connection as much as possible, and because this
internet server do not have to work in future.
So, what to do now? Well, the webpage with the script seems very non-free,
the author explicitly claims copyright. There are similar open source
solutions on the web that we can use locally (http://arborjs.org/ , for
example). I would gladly help with that. Also, you can try to contact
Ivan, and ask him if he wants to open the code. Again, I would gladly help
with the integration.
Or, you can just ignore me as I am no big authority here. :-)
