 Example usage script
 This class is a work in progress and is not 100%
 ready for use. The included class creates a PNG
 image bar graph for inclusion into HTML pages.
 The graph can display one or more data set in
 user defined colors. The font size, font color
 background color, spacing between sets of bars,
 labels, and y-axis tick marks are all set by the
 user. To use the class you first need to collect
 some information, such as the data, labels and
 the image dimensions. While the thickness and
 height of the bars will adjust to fit your image,
 the text will not. After creating the image you
 can set many of the features. You must becareful
 to give the right font size to prevent text from
 overlapping.
