I had never used this until yesterday but it seems to generate html.
I didn't manage to get a chart to display but if you are familiar
with this package and html perhaps you could look at map1$html
and see if anything is obvious. One great thing about html/js
is that it is human readable and you can integrate it
well with other page material without much in the way of special
tools.
