If you have trouble downloading Fly from the main website, you can find a few versions here.

Steve Southwell wrote an example program to demonstrate just one way to use this program. His version uses WebSpeed to dynamically output the .gif file. First download the outgif.p program. Modify the path of the graphic it's using to point to some existent path on your server. Then download the graphtest.html program. (Hit "save" in your browser.) Modify it so that it uses the same graphic name as the outgif.p does. Modify the call to fly in the drawbargraph.p itself, so that it points to the correct path of fly. (Note that outgif.p and graphtest.html are both quick-and-dirty programs, and shouldn't be the basis of anything other than testing Geoff's drawbargraph.p program.
