cmucl and OpenDX

Well, Thanx to Micheal, I took a look at OpenDx.
its quite nice and solves my problem for a
visualization software completely. I also found that
FEMLISP has a binding for it. it uses the process-id
to communicate with DX, sending and receiving
messages. still investigating, but very optimistic...

Michaels idea for an "automatic" binding for a C++
library is still worth trying. any suggestions?

It is worth noting that OpenDX has an internal
scripting language so it is possible to hook CMUCL and
OpenDX via a socket
or pipe the same way that LTK uses TCL/Tk. I've
actually started a project to do exactly that, but
have gotten somewhat sidetracked of late as I play
more and more with DX. 

I'm not familiar with FEMLISP. Is it Common Lisp, or
something obscure?

If anyone actually wants to tackle this, I'd suggest
using Guile or librep. An embeddable Scheme system can
be linked to C/C++ code directly, and has a
straight-forward way to talk to Lisp across a socket.
And I believe there are already tools to automate
building Guile bindings against a given .h file.

This is how FEMLISP does it.

It's a lisp program that runs on CMUCL for FEM (finite
element methods) uses DX for visualizations.

Awesome. Thank you for the reference. I wasn't aware
that OpenDX had bindings into CMUCL. I can't wait to
try it.. I hope FEMLISP exports a functional, Lispy
interface to CMUCL.
