 | yeah it's pretty sweet, but ultimately i'd be looking for html output, as
 i
 | will need to make links out of events, etc.  it looks like i might have to
 | alter a class that produces images and customize it.
 
 that's what i wanted to hear! knowing exactly why html over an image is
 important. have you thought of combining two wheels rather than inventing
 one? bad play on words...what i mean is to utilize the image and only use
 html where it's absolutely needed? consider how many browsers there are to
 support, how differently they render even simple html...then, how difficult
 it will be to manage it all with html?
 
 it can be done...but have you thought of perhaps simply altering the php
 classes that produce image based charts and tie in html to those key
 functions you need...say, using image mapping and javascript? creating the
 mapping would be super easy since you typically only have to deal with
 rectangular (regular) shapes...no complicated definitions of areas.
 
 an approach like that may have you up and running in a couple of days rather
 than a couple of weeks.
 
 just a thought.
 
 best of luck.
