I wish I knew more, but have you looked at GMOD, or any part of it, and the Genereic Genome Browser?  Also, (I have not looked), but Ensembl has pretty good graphics, and that is open sourced.  I believe you can set up your own Ensembl website if you wanted.  And bioperl has some graphics in it, (Bio::Graphics).  Not sure how complicated you are trying to be, so sorry if some of that is either overkill, or not sophisticated enough

>From the bioperl tutorial

"The Bio::Graphics::* modules use Perl's GD.pm module to create a PNG or GIF image given the SeqFeatures (Section III.7.1) contained within a Seq object.

These modules contain numerous methods to dictate the sizes, colors, labels, and line formats within the image. See Bio::Graphics, Bio::Graphics::Panel, or the scripts/render_sequence.pl script for more information.

The Genquire application also provides ways to graphically represent Seq objects (see Section IV.6). "
