in reply to Graphics Creation: GD &.png, or XML::Writer & SVG?

SVG is not Adobe format. They did used to make a IE plugin for SVG. Firefox has SVG support built-in. If you just want to get the job done, and quickly, SVG is not your horse.
generate your graph with GD or other into suitably well supported format at a high enough resolution so that reasonable scaling doesn't produce jaggies
if you graphs are going to be very simple bar charts only, you can even get away with using javascript and CSS to generate them.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H
