I'm developing an app which is a set of business data in a MySQL
backend.  One of the views I'd like to provide is a "graph it" view.
Basically I want to use Cake to get data into the Model and jpgraph to
create a graph.

The code works, and the page correctly works with jpgraph to create an
image.  The problem is jpgraph renders an image and returns image
data.  Cake is wrapping it in the html template.  So the browser barfs
on it, saying something to the effect of:

Firefox:

The image "MetricData/graphMetric/1" cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors.

IE:

Renders the page header, and a binary chunk of characters that is the
data that makes up the image

I know I could create a seperate PHP page that accepts all sorts of
parameters, that then makes the calls to jpgraph, so I could do
something like this in my cake view page:

<img src="imagepage.php?
xaxis=data&yaxis=data&datapoints=1,2,3,4,5,6,7">

But that is ugly.  I'd rather just have the cake page render as an
image.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Brian
