Things that need to be done: A stepwise source build would help, and as you know, this is supported -) In this kind of graphics you need to set the bounding box for each picture to be the same, so that the lines don't jump. >1.

I need the JS commands to accomplish that. That is not to hard, since some ++ will become -- in java-fld.tex. I need to clean up the code anyway. >2. It would be nicer without the figure caption.

Ah, and then connect the graphic to the text pointing and so. >I'd love to hear from folks on this list on how I can accomplish some of >these ideas. Feel free to play with my sources. I may consider adding something like this as advanced example to the metafun manual. I will look into it later.
