You arrange them in an html table, which can be done by a simple program (or, e.g., by crafty). This has the following advantages: top quality diagrams can be easily generated, without help from dedicated graphic programs, and each of the bitmaps can be cached and has to be transferred only once, reducing bandwidth. (The html code for one diagram takes in my case still 2k, has somebody an idea how to reduce this?) Sven.
