Actually, this is very nice. I do have some comments, reflecting the needs of our particular project, but perhaps relevant to other groups: - Control of zooming. It would be nice to have fuller control over zooming. For example, Mac OS X graphviz (for viewing dot files) has a thing you can slide (see attachment zoom.tiff). Ideally, one would also be able to enter a number using the keyboard. Certainly, one should be able to tell at any given time what level of magnification is in effect. - Performance on large examples. There is an example at ftp://ftp.broad.mit.edu/pub/wga/misc/svg/pairs1.svg [Source: pairs1.dot, same place, via dot -Tsvg pairs1.dot > pairs1.svg, using dot version 2.8 (Tue Mar 21 20:38:23 UTC 2006).] This example loads and displays fine on my Mac. If one tries to zoom (+100%), it works like a charm about four times, and then on successive zooms, it works, but one hears the hard disk spinning, and it's slow. It would be nice to provide diagnostics regarding what is going on, e.g. is Opera running out of memory, etc. If it is running out of memory, why? - Can one pan?
