Creating graphs in PDF's

Any help or pointers in the right direction appreciated with this one. I've
got two main questions as follows;

1. I want to create graphs dynamically in PHP (Simple bar charts mainly) I'm
hoping to be able to 'draw' on them when displaying. i.e.. Imagine a bar
graph, but the top of two of the bars circled with an arrow pointing to
them. Any clues which is the best way to go with this.

2. Really an extension of (1) in that I need to take the graph and then put
it into a PDF for the user to download via there browser.

Looking forward to any help on these.

Kind Regards,
David

the gd image libraries if you want bitmapped output, eg. JPEG, PNG, GIF,
etc.
look on www.php.net under "Image Functions" for everything you need to know.

Oh, and re: 2.... the R&OS PDF library is the only freeware PDF library I've
found. Just search on google for it - something like www.ros.co.nz if I
recall.
