There are several thousands of documentation pages with very rich evaluatable examples, many of which return graphics.
- JadeNB 11y agoSurely the graphics that they return should be returned, live, rather than passively occupying space even while unread? (I don't just mean 'should' in the sense of "that's the way it ought to be"; I thought, though I don't know for sure, that part of the appeal of the 'live' documentation is that that's the way it is.)
- carlob 11y agoSome stuff requires internet connectivity, some stuff takes a certain time to compute. If you had to wait one minute for all the stuff to evaluate when you open a new documentation page that would probably bad user experience. The appeal of live documentation to me is that I can modify the examples in place until they do what I need.
