Hi Ian, Like Adrian says - slightly hard to give a definitive answer without more information. However, as you are working with vectors have you considered Flash? It can be an incredibly powerful dynamic, data visualisation tool - from simple things such as this tutorial for creating pie charts http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/creating-flash-charts-from-data-in-google-spreadsheets-using-javascript/ to the beautiful work created by artists such as Erik Natzke (etc) using complex algorithms (http://jot.eriknatzke.com/)? You could use Flash to create a a front-end interface to manipulate the variables, as well as for rendering the vector output based upon these variables. Alternatively, Flash can reference variables in external files such as XML if you wanted to avoid creating a front end.
Anyway - not a direct answer to your question I'm afraid, but hopefully some food for thought? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
