I'm still too early in elm to know the correct question to ask so in the interests of avoiding the XY problem I'm just going to describe my end-goal and ask for the best approach to achieve it.
I have (what I think is) an interesting use-case where I want to model on a webpage a physical device. The device itself is effectively a graphical dumb-terminal which just renders to its small screen the image that it's been sent over the network. What I'm hoping to get elm to do is to have, I guess, an image (or canvas) in my view which, on receiving image data via a websocket would then cause the view to then render that specific image in the same location (ie, DOM object). I've looked at Canvas and it appears I can do it if I pass a URL via websocket but that would initiate a separate query for the img data (via Graphics.Element image). As the hardware is capable of 30fps I don't really want to trigger 30 requests per second in addition to the websocket per simulation. Maybe it's possible to use Data URIs but I've not really been successful with that either. I know it's not the most efficient way of 'making a UI', but it's purpose isn't performance - it's purpose is to model the functionality of the hardware interface as closely as possible, Any pointers in the right direction appreciated.
