I think the database stuff should be encapsulated
in some kind of "norm" module. There are various
ways to specify norms and many of the details can be hidden to a generic 
graph-drawing routine. (For example, valueOfSds
which would be used to draw some centiles, can be used
regardless of wether the underlying norm is for normal
distributet (like height) or skew normal distributed (like
BMI) values.
