Paul Kienzle expressed interest at the mpl sprint in working on an
html5 canvas backend for mpl. When we were taking GSOC applications
earlier this year, Seo did a partial implementation of an html5 canvas
which outputs javascript. I forwarding his email here with
instructions on how to check this out in case someone wants to pick
this up and run with it
532 hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sanxiyn/matplotlib-canvas/
533 cd matplotlib-canvas/
536 python simple_plot.py -dmodule://backend_canvas
This creates a file test.js

OK, thanks for letting us know. Would you mind if we used your
backend work for the html canvas to help the student who will be
pursuing the project get a head start?
Not at all! Feel free to use it any way you want. Do you need formal
license statement? (I didn't feel like attaching one, since it really is
a single day effort.)
No need for a special statement -- I'll have this email on file where
you gave us permission, we'll just incorporate it under the matplotlib
license. Thanks a lot.
Thanks again, and hope to see you on the mpl mailing list!
Indeed. I subscribed to matplotlib-devel, and I plan to work on
Matplotlib even though I won't do it through SoC.
Great -- talk to you there

This is neat to see - I mused into the dark about whether this was
possible a couple weeks ago
(https://twitter.com/deeplycloudy/status/3130819107).
The killer-app next step would be to use a JSON callback to do set up
interactive zooming, etc. A web browser is the ultimate portable
backend, if you could make it work as smoothly as a local backend.
Paul, any chance you'll be at the BACON-PIG local python group tonight
in Columbia, MD?
