RE: [WEB400] dynamic image generation

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I can make bar graphs just fine. I want to make line graphs (or plot
point graphs). See <http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=bwa&d=c&t=1y>. I would like
to make the top graph (share price) programmatically.

Thanks,
Loyd

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?
