One problem I had with this is it generates postscript output. This
works fine when printed on a high-resolution printer. But for
low-resolution media, raster output works better (each bar is a fixed
number of pixels). Here's a little Python script to do it:

Very nice. I will also have to check into this:

I think we will be using mostly PHP with MySQL, so a PHP method for
generating an image on the fly seems reasonable. I'm just not sure how
people should be printing these things for use on lab specimens. We'll
want something fairly automatic and error proof.
