No, static PDF has always been the destination medium for me for anything requiring high-quality output: grant proposals, technical reports, that kind of thing. I've had to do some web stuff but for that I always use straight JavaScript: jqPlot, etc. Many years back I also did some interactive diagrams in Java applets but those were easily coded in straight Java. -- Mark
