If you wanted to get fancy, you could of course make a chart in Adobe
Illustrator and export that as a GIF. That would make it more
professional-looking, and suitable for print.

I have a little app that writes a log showing temperature in a
furnace, thermal expansion and time.
Example:
10:15, 230º C, 0.10%
10:45, 250º C, 0.15%
and so goes on... up to 800ºC
I would like to generate a chart, a graphic line displayed on screen,
that could be printed, using x and y axes, using temperature and
expansion values only.
I mean a graphic line like you would see printed in a newspaper in
the stock exchange section.
Questions:
1) How would you approach the problem? Use your own built app? Or use
some exiting app?
2) Any tips of how to get it done?
Depends on desired outcome. You could do this with straight-forward
HTML
(assuming the data can be presented as a web page, with or without a
web server)
<img src=bar.gif height=10 width=xxx > where xxx = f(expansion)
put a stack of these (representing the different temperatures)
together and you've got a simple bar char.
Alternatively, you could use Smile, which includes lots of nifty
chart-making featuers from what I can see on the web site, or Excel,
or you could do your own line drawing with something like clip2gif and
a bunch of applescript to do scaling & etc.
HTH.
