I've used gnuplot to do this before. Here's an example script: <--makegraph.batch--> set ylabel "temperature" set xlabel "time" set terminal png set output "test.png" plot [0:10] [0:10] 'lm_data.txt' using 1:2 smooth bezier with linespoint <--snip--> Here's the example datafile for the above: <--lm_data.txt--> 1 2 115 2 3 100 3 4 112 4 5 109 5 6 100 6 7 110 7 7.1 120 8 7.2 121 <--snip--> To use gnuplot to create the image you can run this as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnuplot makegraph.batch It will create a test.png image in the directory that you can then place inside your web page. Use cron, cgi, or php to update the graph. >>2. Which is the better poison.
