Indeed, if no traffic-intensive canvas capability is needed, a Vis program could operate network-transparently with very low network resource requirements. Lower than X11 and VNC, at least. > You have described the API using Lua, but I assume that a real > implementation would have to be done as a C library? Yes, although the APIs for different languages might not directly wrap the C API but be implement on top of some lower level stuff due to differences in type systems and the inconvenience of doing any kind of OO in C. Also note that the core of Vis would be quite small. Most of the code would be in the UI modules, and I have not given any thought to the Vis core <-> UI module interface. -- Tuomo
