I don't believe there is any way to do this through HTML or DTML, but certainly
you could use the PIL (Python Imaging Library) to manipulate an image in an
external method.

This would basically have to be an external method which takes the parameters
and is called from a properly constructed img tag, and returns straight gif
code.  The hard part would be making sure that the img tag passed the necessary
information in. I don't know off hand, can an img tag include a query? If so,
that'll do the job, otherwise you would have to figure out how SQL Methods do
direct URL traversal and mimic it to hide the necessary information in the
address portion of the URL.
