I'm approaching this from the perspective of making the adjustment purely on the user machine. The idea is that the live graphic is only useful with someone interacting with them and we cannot predict what size screen people will be working with. The approach I'm playing with now is to default to a small (250px) square display and give the user javascript controls that resize the applet. Do people see problems with this approach? It does completely remove the ability to control the applet size from the server. At present, I'm ignoring the size parameter that was used previously. I could re-introduce it when I also work on captioning.
