Hi Bill, thanks for the good wishes :-) Regarding rendering times, I dont have any problems, usual interactions are snappy. Have a look at the screencasts to see the tool in action, especially the second one ( http://pleiad.dcc.uchile.cl/research/software/aspectmaps_struct_zoom ) to see what I mean. AspectMaps is built using Moose ( http://www.moosetechnology.org ) and more specifically using an extended FAMIX model of Java as the data structure and the Mondrian ( http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/mondrian ) visualization engine to do the visualization. I could not have done it without these tools and the guys behind the tools helping me out where I needed :-) So if you want to do some kind of visualization of data I highly recommend you to check this out!

Johan,
Best of luck with it! Taking a really quick look at your web site, this looks like something that could take a lot of time rendering graphics. Is drawing time a problem for you? Did you do anything in particular to avoid bottlenecks? I ask because I am starting to port some of my graphical code to Pharo; some of it is going from home-grown to using gnuplot, but elsewhere I was able to simply pass (Windows speak) an HDC into a function in a DLL and do a lot of rendering fairly quickly as a result. I am still looking for how to approach that in Pharo+Linux. I am starting to make my own .so's with success, but have yet to produce graphics that way.
