What's the graphics view stuff ?

I also mentioned the use of binary protocols, but it depends how much the 
binary protocol removes the Tcl dependency. A light use of binary elements 
means efficiently cutting the stream into Tcl commands to be run, and also 
ability to transmit raw data (array coords, images) at higher speed. But 
if that path is followed further, then... well, there are dozens of 
possible ways of making things more modular and it's not necessary to 
enumerate every possible way of doing so.

Tk zooming can be achieved using a TkCanvas wrapper that filters all 
coordinates. I'd use poe.tcl and follow a structure similar to Chun's 
TkZinc wrapper experiment and «def Canvas item» at once.
