Web Rendering
Sometimes you have to display visualisations over a web interface. Wondering if you can add this functionality.
As reference following web rendering frameworks look cool so it would be nice if you have feature parity with them:
- https://plot.ly/
- https://juliaplots.github.io/
- http://p5js.org/
- http://visjs.org/
- http://threejs.org/
- https://www.blend4web.com/en/
- http://stack.gl/
I would like to have this feature, but I think the route is more via web assembly using project like https://emscripten.org/ but the last time I checked, not all of our dependencies are available via emscripten.
As of today,
- emscripten ports for SDL, Freetype are available which should cover the dependencies on the fronts of window-toolkit and font-file-loading.
- Boost is available.
- Fontconfig is the left over dependency which I don't see in emscripten-ports list, that is kind of the blocker now.
- Freeimage is optional dependency for forge to save/load images to/from disk, I don't see an official port for this dependency.
