PS. One nice way Velocity can help with graphs is through macros. If you end up with a long complicated <img> url to generate a graph, abstract this with a macro. Our Velocity-based system has a number of graph related macros.
http://www.forio.com/broadcastdocs/creating_interfaces/how_to_create_graphs.htm


For example, in our system the macro
#LineGraph (["Revenue", "Costs"] 400 300)

generates the text

<img src="graph?FD_rand=1861&FD_graph=1&VariableName=Revenue&VariableName=Costs&Width=400&Height=300" width="400" height="300">

which instructs our custom-written graph servlet to generate a graph of the variables revenue and costs over time (in a GIF image sized 400x300).

Best,
WILL

Hi,

I have a Velocity based web application that
includes graphs.  I don't use
velocity to generate graphs, I use a third party
graphing app.  My web page
includes a img tag with a special URL which displays
a JPEG or GIF graph.

There's a couple of different libraries that can
generate the graphs.  You
might try JFreeChart if you're looking for a free
library.  Personally, I
really like the commercial but inexpensive package
KavaCharts (includes both
server and client side components).  There's also a
number of much more
expensive server-side tools.
