I've seen ION, but I don't know too much about it. $5000
seems like a lot of money for this functionality. Have
you thought about a simple PERL script passing data to
a callable IDL application that produced GIF files for
display on the web page? I should think you could get
something like that running in a couple of days.
Cheers,
David

Check out the IDL FAQ at http://ww2.sd.cybernex.net/~mgs/idl_faq.html for
some help in this area. Question T23 is "How can IDL be used to generate
dynamic GIFs for display on the World Wide Web?"
