@dougmerritt IIRC one can send text commands (including geometry drawing, at least) to a GUI-dedicated file / device, and it will happily interpret. Or at least that’s the way I understood that.

@aartaka @dougmerritt You can already do incremental drawing in McCLIM, i.e call (DRAW-RECTANGLE stream x1 y1 x2 y2) on the window stream that is already created. Having a loop that reads from a file and evaluates such forms would be rather trivial.
