There's an apache module for doing this, I believe its called Apache::Chart or Apache::GDGraph or something. 2. If generating a chart from querystring params isn't right for you, you can do it yourself with one of the perl charting modules and simply send out the binary data with a Content-Type of image/png. Of course you have to do it from a <img> tag, or as a direct URL, but you knew that, right? === Subject: Re: Graphs From: merlyn@stonehenge.com (Randal L.
