The best thing I have seen in this relation is the draw > In terms of semi-open standards, you already have Postscript and PDF (and in my view PDF is technically the right approach for most commercial web pages which are about form rather than content). Machine generated Postscript tends to look complicated but simple diagrams in hand coded Postcript really are quite simple. PDF is Postcript minus programming but with file structuring for fast navigation. It still has the same primitive graphic operations, but they have to work on numbers, not expression. There are also the ancient Unix draw commands and more recent FIG ones. Commercially, there is Shockwave. -- David Woolley - Office: David Woolley <djw@bts.co.uk> BTS Home: <david@djwhome.demon.co.uk> Wallington TQ 2887 6421 England 51 21' 44" N, 00 09' 01" W (WGS 84)
