Jeff Hansen's recent interest in graphing along with my need for this in the
near future and along with summer coming on....

What about making it a summer project to add graphing capabilities to the
Jmol applet?

I'm not suggesting anything about the applet necessarily changing -- I don't
really think the applet space is the place for this -- but rather the
development of general tools for graphing properties that are derived from
structures.

One possibility is that different people would try out different ideas, and
we would have some sort of forum later to see what worked and what didn't. I
was looking at divGraph (http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/divgraph) and
realizing that a lot has changed in browsers in the past 5 years. Perhaps I
could retool that with Jmol in mind.

Maybe Jeff could do more with the inline SVG business.

Maybe someone could look into server-side graphing using gnuplot.

Maybe we could come up with a "Jmol graphing API" -- that is, a set of
functions that we would want to implement regardless of the actual mechanism
of the graphing.

What do you think?
