    Question drawing at runtime

    is there any way of drawing a polygon of variable dimensions at runtime on a web page?

    even better, how do i go about drawing a gif graph based on data points?

    cheers

    Well there are many ways and it depends on what cgi type languages you have available on your web server to create these.

    But one alternative is to look into SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics). It is an xml based drawing and animation language. You can find more info at www.adobe.com

    Or at www.w3c.org , they are trying to standardize SVG.

    Problem is that it is not well supported. The Adobe plug-in is not recognized by my Mozilla and IE strangely malfunctions (it simply stops redrawing it's window, although it is still responsive). There are Mozilla versions with built-in SVG support, but they are unstable and don't support the full language specification.
    Wait a few months and you'll be ready to use SVG, but I'd be careful now, don't rely on it and give alternatives.
