dynamic .gif images

[link9]

Hello all --

I have a shot in the dark here, hoping that someone might have some experience doing something like this.

Creating dynamic .gifs at runtime using calculated variables from a database. Specifically, pie graphs.

For a while now, I have been making bar charts. They're not very difficult due to their square nature (easily formatted w/ tables), but I have seen sites that have a choice for pie charts.

I viewed the properties for these .gifs and they were something like 12548679.tmp.gif which tells me they just got made when I requested the chart. Very cool, and very interesting.

Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

ps. flash is out of the question (thx to NS).

Thanks!
paul

You can use the Chart component (or Pivottable) of Office Web Components. Here's about the closest coding example I could find:

You can also use Excel or MS Graph to do the same:
