[Bob Jolliffe <bobjolliffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well I think the jquery svg plugin has made up my mind re the ext vs
jquery discussion.

Take a look at this jquery plugin: http://keith-wood.name/svg.html.
This is appears to be a free software equivalent (though a bit more
general and not *quite* as sophisticated) as the highcharts thing.  I
hadn't noticed before that highcharts is also making svg which is
partly why they look so nice.

In particular check out the graphing/plotting/mixture tabs.  I don't
think there can be a much easier open licenced way to make vector
graphic, w3c standard svg charts than this :-)

What do you think Jan?  Would this meet your requirements?

Cheers
Bob
