Hi there

I currently have a Python program outputing to the command line,
durations of 'completed Steps' and 'data items' in relation to time
i.e.


--------------jfh
---------kl //kl started after jfh finished
% Ds //new data arrived at this point in time
-------pl (1) //Details error with finished Step
*kl // This step is now outputed but
//due to error with pl is
cancelled (no duration)

I am now going to represent this graphically i.e. boxes will be used
to show the progress of the different items in relation to time (as
the page will refresh after x seconds). Different colours, lines and
symbols will also be used to represent different things happening i.e.
the right hand side of a box still running will be dotted. Clicking on
different Steps will also load up a specific web page relating to it.

I came accross PHP/SWF as a PHP tool which should help allow me to do
this (the below link shows a perfect example of the type of output I
require)
http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php?menu=Gallery&submenu=Floating_Bar

But unfortunately it has to be bought to accomodate the functionality
of linking to other web pages when pointing to the graph (otherwise it
goes to the companies home site). I therefore wondered if anyone knows
of anything else out there which will be best suited to my needs.

Any other suggestions are also much appreciated i.e. whether you think
representing this as a graph like approach is the best option.

Cheers
Chris
