RE: [WEB400] dynamic image generation

["Andrew Borts" <Andrewb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WHY!
        Here's what you can do...
1) Why not use the line HTML code to produce a line that is xxx in pixel size?
2) Why not take a 1x1 pixel graphic and expand it's size accordingly.  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.
3) After that, I'm kinda tapped out.

As long as you're not graphing a dynamic map, this is a great method.  Use the 
following mock up of the image when you're done.

<img src="/myimage/blue.gif" width="$(percent)" height="10">

or something like it.  Do dis suffice?

Subject: [WEB400] dynamic image generation

I would like to programmatically (dynamically) generate GIF or PNG images
based on AS/400 data. For example, I would like to create a line or bar
graph similar to the stock graphs on yahoo:
<http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=bwa&d=c&t=1y>. I am basically looking to
generate trend graphs based on user input on web forms. (Graph a product
line's productivity for the past year.) Any advice welcomed. Feel free to
respond to either list, I monitor both.

Thanks,
Loyd
