Redimensioning won't help you. If the tree gets to more than about 4 
levels deep, the nodes become so densely packed as to be unreadable anyway.

Fixing this would presumably require a *real* node layout algorithm...

(The thought just flickered through my mind: Maybe I should have used 
Google Charts inside of all this JavaScript DOM SVG craziness. But I 
don't think Google Charts can do node graphs yet...)

Oh. I thought it also did 3D stuff, or at least had lines.  I know there's 
some sort of extension for 3D stuff too, webgl or something?

No, just ignorant.

Not in lots of graphic stuff like animation.

I've seen very few animation programs doing imperative stuff, beyond 
simulations of real-life things that can't easily be expressed in closed form.

I realized after I posted this that I failed to say that actually *is* 
pretty cool, btw. :-)

Heh. What did you *think* I wanted programmatically-drawn vector 
graphics for? ;-)

I'm pretty sure I posted a full, *working* Huffman encoder/decoder here 
before. (If I didn't, I definitely did implement it.) And another for 
LZW. And yet another for arithmetic coding. Unfortunately I am too 
stupid to implement PPM correctly.

I've implemented other things too, but I can't remember what off the top 
of my head.

Selecting the text in a <textarea> is a HTML5 feature?

Seriously, you're kidding me, right?

I'm sure that can't be correct... Surely such a trivial feature has been 
present for years!
