I think before thinking about rendering an entire dataset, we should add a
visualiser to the data grid so at least the user can see individual shapes
etc. This would be similar to what we've considered doing if we detect an
image in a bytea column for example - render a "View" button or link in the
cell, that when clicked, opens the image in a popup panel.
