Dan Drake on the Sage mailing list pointed out that google now has the 
ability to plot graphs:

https://www.google.com/search?q=sin(x)%2C+cos(x)

A nice javascript thing is generated and has automatic tracing, zooming, 
and panning turned on.  Of course, those are things we'd all love in the 
Sage project for our matplotlib-based graphics :).

Has anyone ever worked on a backend that generates javascript code for 
one of the javascript plotters out there (like jsxgraph or flot)? 
Alternatively, I suppose we could generate an svg or html5 plot and then 
accompany it with the javascript code to trace the function, etc.  Has 
anyone experimented with writing a javascript "viewer" for graphics, 
having some of the same features that the standard graphics window that 
pops up under qt, wx, gtk, etc.?

I think this would be interesting to work on next summer if I have extra 
time.

Thanks,

Jason
