Vector or graphic webservice drawing

I have a webapp from which I would like to insert charts and images quickly and easily. I expect there is a web service out there somewhere that will take a URL with a parameter that describes a vector graphic or chart and returns an image.

Not like what Google charts do to graphically display data.

Any resources or ideas on this?

If I had to create it myself, do you have any ideas on how I can do this?

For example, does PHP / asp / etc have a graphics library capable of displaying simple vector graphics?

Why not just use the Google Chart API?

Do you find something like http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm to generate actual vector graphics on the client side instead of making requests to the server?

One of the possibilities is to generate SVG in real time in the browser. This decreases browser compatibility, but will decrease over time.
