Not that I know of, but here are some pointers that might get you started.
Here's an example of a graph in SVG done in the Dojo javascript toolkit:

The idea is that it generates SVG for SVG-capable browsers and VML for Internet

Another option is to use the canvas tag available in Firefox and Safari. You can
use this to emulate the canvas tag in IE:
