Yes.  PIL, the Python Imaging Library, would be one possibility; so is
the gd module.  For example, the pricing charts on the pages at
http://www.mems-exchange.org/catalog/ are generated from Quixote using
gd.  PDF likely isn't helpful, because browsers won't display PDF
images inlined in a web page, though it's certainly well-suited for 
multi-page reports that need to be printed.
