Web Rendering

[sirinath]

Sometimes you have to display visualisations over a web interface. Wondering if you can add this functionality.

As reference following web rendering frameworks look cool so it would be nice if you have feature parity with them:

• https://juliaplots.github.io/
• http://p5js.org/
• http://visjs.org/
• http://threejs.org/

I would like to have this feature, but I think the route is more via web assembly using project like https://emscripten.org/ but the last time I checked, not all of our dependencies are available via emscripten.

As of today,

• emscripten ports for SDL, Freetype are available which should cover the dependencies on the fronts of window-toolkit and font-file-loading.
• Boost is available.
• Fontconfig is the left over dependency which I don't see in emscripten-ports list, that is kind of the blocker now.
• Freeimage is optional dependency for forge to save/load images to/from disk, I don't see an official port for this dependency.
