display() to work in RStudio Server, ever possible?

[ramiromagno]

Is it possible to use imager's graphics device through RStudio Server's viewer pane (not sure this question makes any sense)?

It would be nice to have the fast rendering of display() in RStudio Server. The goal here is to use display(), e.g., to show real-time simulation output in a session of RStudio Server, i.e., conveniently requiring only the web browser on the user's side.

Hi - I've never used Rstudio Server, and I'm not sure how it works. My guess is that for fast display of image data over a network connection you'd have to hack Rstudio itself rather than imager, ie you'd need low-level access to Rstudio's viewer pane. Maybe somebody's already worked on that?
