Visual editor

Registered by Gábor Csárdi

I think we have the technology now to create a graphical graph editor that is
1) cross platform
2) good-looking
3) user-friendly
4) works well with the R package (and possibly the Python package as well)
via web technologies.

The idea briefly is, to create a JavaScript graph editor, that can communicate with an R (or Python) process via websockets. The communication would be in some well-defined platform-independent language, such as XML, or maybe eve JSON. The R process could send commands like:
- set all vertex colors to "red"
- add two vertices
- etc.
and could request the whole graph.

R itself can serve the entire application via its internal web-server, maybe using something like Rook package, maybe even without that to keep dependencies minimal.

We could use d3.js or some other JS library to make JavaScript development quick and easy.
