My mistake. Won't happen again.

The data is stored in a VisualFoxPro table as integers. Essentialy,
the system takes HTML form input and outputs database reports formated
in HTML. What I was hoping to to do was find a graphics format that
would accept a series of strings, something like:
1,1,FF0000,;1,2,00FFFF etc. where the first two numbers represented
the x,y coordinates and the next string the RGB hex values. I could
easily convert the coords to hex as well... Thank you for the help.
