A lot of helper methods are currently duplicated across several modules - which is adding a lot :hamburger: to our bundle size.\n\n@mikolalysenko's new WebGL framework [`regl`](https://github.com/regl-project/regll) solves a lot of long-standing gl-vis issues such as multiple scopes per gl-context and improved memory management. \n\nI placed this issue on the v2.0.0 milestone because it _might be_ a good opportunity to make the switch in-phase with bumping [`d3` to `v4`](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/424) but this is subject to change.\n\n@dfcreative @monfera @bpostlethwaite \n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/etpinard","@type":"Person","name":"etpinard"},"datePublished":"2016-09-19T13:26:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":23},"url":"https://github.com/949/plotly.js/issues/949"}
