Re: dynamic image generation

Actually I'd have to agree with a previous post recommending Netcharts by
www.visualmining.com  We purchased this product, loaded it on our 400 and
have produced many great charts.  Coupled with CGIDEV2, making charts is
nothing more than adding the object to your source and setting some
'parameter' values.  It's a great product, very reasonably priced, and
includes a plethora of graph styles.

Solid colors work (look @ www.cnn.com and see how they produce their daily
graphs of the surveys they produce.  One color is red, the other is orange.
