You could, however, create a normal (white on black) and printable (black on white) image. With CSS you then hide the printable version on screen and you hide the screen version in print.css. This way you can easily prin the graph too. But, you'll have to generate two graphs. @David: I’m afraid you can’t change image colours with CSS.

I should add that I've set up print.css so that it correctly swaps the foreground/background. Sorry… I should add that I’ve set up print.css so that it correctly swaps the foreground/background.

However, I've got a black background, and have generated (using Gruff) matching graphs in white-on-black. It looks pretty strange having white-on-black graphs when the rest of the page is black-on-white. Any for suggestions for how to get the page that's printed from the javascript:print() command to be re-rendered (say, passing a parameter to say "switch color-scheme for graphs)? This is a great tip… thanks.
