We have done this, but it's very involved. The application produces a lot of
javascript code that maps datapoints to very small gifs that show up as different colors.
Another way is to produce html that has the gifs embedded; do not put line feeds between
the <IMG> tags, or you will get a tiny little white space between each gif. This
will yield slower performance than dynamic html, but will run.

The screen took well over a month to develop, but could be adapted to your situation.
Let me know if interested.
