Create a knockout-based virtual grid component.

[tshead2]

Requirements:

• It must retrieve ranges of columns efficiently (this is where slickgrid doesn't scale - it retrieves every column for a range of rows).
• It must be easily parameterized (IMO, this is where most grids fail - they try to do too much, the parameterization gets needlessly complex, and it becomes difficult to workaround "default" behavior).

[tshead2]

Proposed API:

• Specify number of rows and columns.
• Specify row heights and column widths.
• Specify a callback function for creating per-cell markup.
• Specify per-row / per-column / per-cell class changes.
• Invalidate ranges of rows / columns / cells.
• Scroll to make a row / column / cell visible.
• Specify fixed cells?

@tshead2 - https://rniemeyer.github.io/knockout-kendo/web/Grid.html, https://github.com/Knockout-Contrib/KoGrid, http://wijmo.com/grid-with-knockout-viewmodel-loading-remote-data/, http://grid.tesseris.com/Home/DemoKnockout - would one of these do the trick?

Knockout-Kendo.js also has slider widgets.

@lustrousgorilla -These suffer from the same limitations as slickGrid - the number of rows is limited by the maximum size of a div, and the number of columns is assumed to be relatively small, generally < 100. While it doesn't come-up for TI, or PI, we've had issues with those limitations in CCA and timeseries models before. My goal is a grid that supports 1B x 1B cells.

This will be removed as we will be going to a new paradigm for our web server web client architecture
