This works perfectly for what I need.  The other form using the 
<img...ismap> tag would not allow me to get the args with mod_python's 
req.form.get() function, they had to be parsed internally.  Doing this 
and adding a couple of additional vars will allow the graph to be used 
in a bookmark, or served independently of the application.

Thanks for all the help, and the patience!
