convert tables/data to gif graphs

[SM777]

Is there a program that can convert tables into gif graph format.

I'm looking for something that can take numbers and rather than display a table or html bargraph, convert to a gif file for displaying?

Depending on how static the numbers are, you'll either have to use a program to create the graph on your machine and save it to the server, or use a server-side program to generate the graph on the fly. There are several perl programs to do the latter. You can find them at

php is very good at generating gifs and pngs' on the fly.

I'm after something on the fly, quick and clear.

Users enter some search parameters. Lookup data in database and produce results in graph form. Bar charts to simple. I've seen some nice looking sites that produce gifs so it can be done!

I'll check out the perl and php sites.

Cheers.
