A Dream come true ? ...

Sorry but I forgot the most interesting part for those who like me specially
like animations that is the Demos address
They are free and fun but serious enough to see the potential of this Glg
library.

Just a dream come true ? ...
Can somebody give me a clue about the way I can use the Glg library from
REBOL (programmer's guide can be found here :
http://www.genlogic.com/doc_html/glgtut.html#pgfId=1015473)
My interest is having some way to output via a Web browser some interactive
graphics that can be dynamically changed in real-time by the user. And as I
found looking at the very nice demos, this works well.
In some way this will permit me to use a Web page as an output as if it was
done on a local or remote machine using the REBOL/View graphics facilities.
I plan to do some interactive dynamic real-time simulation to help my
students in the classroom and at home but I don't yet know how REBOL
interacts with Java or C/C++.
In fact all these options are available for the programmer but I don't know
any one of these languages well enough either. Just a bit of C for the
moment.
I know that this will do a lot of learning to me in a near future but if
someone can accelerate this a little bit by giving me a rough idea about the
way to go this would be keen and I really would appreciate this help for
starting me.
Thanks,
Gerard
P.S. Well may be I will write a new dialect for supporting this library when
I will be able to. Everybody could benefit from this too but please be
patient...

Hi Gerard,

Well, I couldn't find any samples of API calls on their site in a quick
check. If the DLL calls are straight-forward, creating REBOL declarations
for them wont be hard. How it connects to a viewer widget (their term) is
something to consider, as that wasn't something they give details on either.
It might be possible, but would probably be a bit of effort.

Thank you Gregg for your quick search and look.
So I'll dig a little bit more ...
