Sharing permalinks/deeplinks to rendered ICGs

[lemmy]

It would be great if one could share links to rendered graphs.

Hi Markus, that's a good suggestion. I'm wondering how to accomplish this, however. Since ShiViz is browser-side only, the best we can do is export a png/jpg/svg of the graph for download. Without server-side support, I'm not sure how to share state between users (perhaps through an external service?).

(Obviously, sharing the log with reg-exps embedded is the best way to share state, but this is limited since you can't share a 'view' that has been dynamically constructed, which I'm assuming is the motivation for your requst.)

Perhaps not an option for larger log files, but a graphviz editor serializes the input and appends it to the URL when sharing. For larger log files, Shiviz could load the log file from a URL given to it as a parameter?
