Re: Gnucap Integrated waveform displayer Details

My spin on the GUI is to try to use HTML 5 & Java Script.   When I last 
looked I found no set of C/C++ graphics packages that were totally cross 
platform.  But web browsers seem to be all migrating towards a common 
standard.  The challenge would be to  put a XML server interface on 
gnucap,  or design a plugin for apache.
