Its not really that complicated.  If you use your favorite graphing
program to create a template (I use gnuplot with terminal type svg but
there are probably more modern alternatives) then you can relatively
easily use this as a base and then use whatever programmatic means to
update the actual data series representation in the chart.  See for
example the last three data chunks (actually line drawing) in the
markup of the attached.  This could be updated dynamically via
javascript/ajax on the client side or on the server side depending on
the use case.

Cheers
Bob

And the good news is that native svg support is finally coming in IE9.
 Its already in the platform review http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
