What you would do is create a plugin to output an <img> tag with the 
correct parameters to pass to your createimage.php script; or have the 
plugin create the image, store it in a cache folder, and output the img 
tag so the browser requests the just-created file.

This latter approach is taken by Cerdmann's Thumb plugin, at which you 
might want to take a look.
