Nope. Just something that communicates with lisp as a back end and
some drawing front end.

I asked a few questions there but I'm too much of a newbie. My questions
make it look like I'm asking them to write the code (which I'm not).
Once I have a simple working example I can reverse-engineer the rest
of it.
