If you just want images of data, Google charts might be useful: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ I imagine you could get Google to generate a .jpg for you and put the in a .pdf if you need to print it. Furthermore, if it is fancy grphs you want, Google Visualisations could work even better:

Hey Bojan There is a few ways you could do this (certainly more that what I'm about to tell you). It depends on the effect you want to create. Perhaps the simplest way is to inherit from the existing class. But inheriting classes should only strictly be used as an `is a` relationship. So perhaps

an Jobs site is a nice example of the effect I want to create as you add filtering paramters on the left, although I'm using a form to collect user input as opposed to giving them a list of ranges which is more difficult. I hope that clears a few things up. On Nov 4, 5:23 pm, Steve Holden <[
