Whiteboard
[gabrielhurley] We should look into using d3 (http://
[hayashi] Actually I've thought about using D3 or any other SVG framework for visualizing Network topology view. I prefer SVG rather than canvas, because SVG have actual nodes that means something, it is more semantic compared to canvas.
I'll try using d3 for network topology view. Is it OK?
Also, I think I can do this blue point as well:

[2013-07-16 | Gabriel] I'd rather see this land as a robust, well-tested feature early in I than try to rush it into H. I'm willing to reconsider if great code shows up early in H3, but for now I'm going to defer this.

[lblanchard] Toshi - These screens look awesome, great work on the design and development. It's very powerful to be able to view what is happening with the network topology in a visual way. I love the addition of the small and normal sizing. A few small thoughts:
-Do you think we need the "X" icon to close the hover over on the instance details? Maybe a 500ms buffer and mouse out would be fine for it disappearing? Just a small idea to save a click.
-I wonder if "view instance details" is a better label rather than "more info"...although it is much longer, so it would make the box a bit wider. It's a bit more descriptive of where the user will be taken and it's consistent grammar with the "open console" label. I guess this comment would apply to routers and networks too.

Liz, Thank you very much for helpful comments! Regarding label issues, I totally agree with you. I'll update you pointed out. Regarding "X" icon, It's difficult to judge, I still think it would be better to have it for now. If the balloon is much smaller such as tool tip, I think it doesn't need to have "X", but it uses some space of UI, user might want to hide immediately, so I think it would be better to have it (like Google maps's balloon). But I'm gonna change to the more discreet design, it is somehow messy.
Also, I haven't implemented auto hide function when mouseout, I'm gonna implement, but it takes some time because it is a little bit complicated, it might be after H3. The balloon is hidden when the user clicks 'x' or clicks outside of the balloon for now.
Thanks again for the comments, I'll fix you pointed out soon.
[lblanchard] Sounds great. Thanks!
