RE: [WEB400] dynamic image generation

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been playing around with the same thing from a slightly different
perspective.  If you have access to Java, SDK1.4 has a bunch of new ImageIO
functionality.  Used in conjunction with the Graphics2D classes I've been
able to create .JPGs from a sketch in a Java program.  I have a seperate
program that draws sketches in the Java window based on AS/400 vector data.


Logic would suggest that you could follow a similar path and write a Java
Class that would receive/get AS/400 based data, create the associated
graphic, and then export it to a .JPG (or I think several other file types).

Might be worth exploring.  I might be able to share some code snippets if it
would help...
