Yes, I found this JS Library http://raphaeljs.com/ This lib will make Deigner/Schema feature more robust if it works. I will try by making a demo What about its License ? Can we use this lib ?

The MIT license [0] allows us to use it and include it in phpMyAdmin as long as we don't remove the copyright clause from the lib file.
