I agree, having real time feedback on variables (and being able to provide that feedback as well) is an incredibly powerful tool. Thus why I created WebDMA, so you could have the same type of functionality in C++ -- incredibly simple to use. I haven't gotten around to adding graphs yet, but anyone reasonably competent in javascript could do it without too much effort.
