Hi need to do a plot of shmoo data - for each x-y there is a square, 
red=fail, green=pass, as far as I understand GD::Graph can not
support this output (it should look something like a checkers board). 
Any idea ?
I think I'll go with the more simple approach of displaying the image 
and grabbing it in some way, I am not a programmer, I don't have
any knowledge in vector graphics, nor the time to learn...I just need 
the simplest solution, even if it is not the most 
proffesional/elegant/fancy one...
