Colin Fraser, Jean-Marc,

As far as I know, Javascript does not create images, I have never seen 
any reference to this particular ability, however, there are a number of 
scripting tools around that may help you in this particular quest. 
Perhaps one of the earliest, and cheapest, tools is found here

Scripted images are not easy to create but they can be excellent images, 
as this site demonstrates. Raytracing has largely been supplanted by 
things like 3D Studio Max and Lightwave, certainly in the graphic 
industry, but it still has a role to play. Good luck if that is what you 
want to do.
