Is it possible to generate the image and send the data back and make the browser think it's loading an image file?  I know this can be done by sending the proper headers back for an entire page, but I just want to do basically the same thing for just part of the page.

Have the image tag call a script which generates the images based on
parameters in the filename:

<img src="image.php?param1=something&param2=something_else"/>

Then you can have PHP read in the GET data and generate any image you
need.
