We've got an itsy bitsy handler coded inside of gnucash that allows
gppi to be embedded in a rectangluar area of an html document. 
We use gtkhtml for this.  As a result, gnucash can work as a web
browser, and have live, embedded, interactive graphs in it. We use it
for financial reports.

For us its a hack that we use internally. To be formally correct, you'd
have to implement guppi as a browser plugin ala 'flash', and we have no
incentive to do this. 

Yes, this is not netcdf, but  I thought I'd mention it. ...
