Basic details are right, and reflect our conversation in late-April/early May. FYI: Since our conversations have occurred, the perceived need for ordering has significantly reduced. Therefore, count-of-categories (CoC) has become...

There may be no general-purpose exact solution...in which case Aggregate-Zoom is really Approximate zoom. Consider a checkerboard of 5 2x2 squares rendered to the screen. As indicated above, if they...

Incidentally, transfer actually takes a long time as grids get larger (20s or so on a 5Kx5K grid). Roll-up zoom probably does to... That makes me think! Roll-up zoom is...

Requires introspection on the contents of the loaded jar. Can be achieved by either attempting to load specific class files by name before executing tests. This check might be achieved...

It was a technical experiment, and it worked OK after a short effort...but not well enough to motivate the people paying the bills to continue funding it.

Idea for improved value-selection: - Have high-level bins, which are divided into sub-bins - Each sub-bin is weighted by the number of pixels that land in that sub-bin. - When...
