SciRuby::Plotter alternate UI library bindings (JRuby, MacRuby, etc.) #7

Closed translunar closed 9 years ago

translunar commented 13 years ago

Plotter is currently written using green shoes, which requires a number of external libraries. As a result, it probably doesn't work in JRuby, MacRuby, or really anywhere other than MRI.

Additionally, green_shoes is known to not work with macruby.

The short term solution:

Implement a version of SciRuby::Plotter with continuous evaluation that displays and updates the output in a web browser instead of the native window manager.

The long term solution:

Adapt green_shoes to work with MacRuby, JRuby, etc., or implement alternate versions of Plotter to function in these environments.

one interesting approach would, on jruby, environment to support shoes4 https://github.com/shoes/shoes4/

shoes4 should support the same DSL than green shoes does.
