I would like to create a map system that is able to be changed easily and
rerendered.  I have a serious of X, Y coordinates that would create points
of interest.  At times, these points of interest may change possession.  I
would want to change the color of them at that time.  Also, some may hold
duel possession and I would want to create a color scheme then that would
show both parties of possession.

For those familiar with the game, I am working on a map of the Inner Sphere
from Battletech.  The goal is to use a database of sometype to store the
coordinate and planet information.  If a planet is held by more than 1
group, it would show a mix.  Otherwise, it would show home color.  Once the
picture is generated, I want to create a coordinate field over the top of
it for web use that will show information on the planet when you hover over
it.  Any ideas?

And, yes, I am new.  For now, I will be happy to get an initial copy done.
Once I see how it works, I THINK I can create a script that will update the
data in the rendering file to bring it up to date with the database.
