please drop dependancy on three.js - that library is a pig

[scottstensland]

Hi

  I would like to use GraphGL as part of my project yet its dependancy on

      three.js

  is unacceptable due to ***HUGE*** size of three.js - its over 180 meg !!!
  This is fine for stand alone client apps outside of a browser - but major fail
  for any browser based needs.     I personally write any WebGL logic using
  glMatrix-0.9.5.min.js   which is only 12444 bytes - Have you looked at
  seeing whether GraphGL can get along using glMatrix-0.9.5.min.js instead ?

  For my current project I need to visualize node/edges so will either roll my own
  lib from scratch using glMatrix-0.9.5.min.js or possibly see if I can fork your lib
  and remove requirement of three.js

  P.S. I started downloading three.js prior to writing this Issue and its
  still downloading ... currently at  over 200 meg !!! and climbing

cheers, Scott

Hey,

hehe, you only need to check out three.js if you want to do development or see the examples :) Minified version (http://threejs.org/build/three.min.js) comes at 420K, which should be good enough for you? :)

Cheers, Urban
