Gene, You might want to look at SVG, which is a W3C org backed specification. It is XML based, and allows very dynamic graphics to be created. There is a lot open source software that has been developed around it.
<http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/> The more recent versions of Flash can be integrated to work with database back ends, so if you are happy working with Flash, you can get good mileage out of it this way. There are also numerous COM and JAVA based graphics solutions out there.
