Yeah.. my patch does have some issues locking up PD at this time.. the
datastuct is quite complex and if I have the drawing window open when I
create the ds then pd hangs for quite a while.. though once I do the
initial draw opening and closing the window is quick... I do wish I could
have more capabilities for manipulating the visualization without actually
changing any data (zoom) which is something that would be pretty trivial
with GEM.
