Re: [slime-devel] contrib for repl images

Hi,

Attached are files which I propose to add to contrib/ to allow image display in the repl. The Common Lisp support is entirely non-existent, but I have prototype code using the slime support to do manipulations of graphical objects in R: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~mas01cr/tmp/swankr-images.png displays an example.

I'd like to put this or something like it in; I'm asking for review of this approach and implementation.

For what it's worth, I've always wanted something like this.

It's possible to even go crazy, and have an analogue to print-object to give an image view of everything. The resulting presentations can give something that feels like Smalltalk. :)

Yong.
