gfx.js
A browser-based graphics server that renders HTML resources generated by Torch7 or other clients, enabling remote visualization.
What is gfx.js?
gfx.js is a browser-based graphics server that enables remote visualization of HTML resources generated by clients like Torch7. It allows users to create images, charts, and plots from a Lua REPL and view them in a web browser, even on headless servers. The server monitors a directory for HTML files and renders them automatically, simplifying graphics output for data analysis and machine learning workflows.
Torch7 users and developers needing remote or browser-based visualization for machine learning experiments, data plotting, and image rendering. It's also suitable for those working on headless servers who require deferred visualization of generated resources.
Developers choose gfx.js for its seamless integration with Torch7, enabling easy generation of charts and images from Lua code without complex browser setup. Its flexibility in supporting headless resource generation and later visualization sets it apart from traditional graphics backends.
