# history:
# 1.5 May 27 2004 :
# - when a chart contains only one bar this bar was always centered in the image
#     now AlignBars works well in this case aslo ("justify" treated as "center")
# - interwiki links reinstalled e.g. [[de:Gorbachev]]
# - error msgs corrected
# - minimum image size fixed
# - line numbering adapted <timeline>spaces<br> does not count as line one in Wikipedia
# - line breaks in wiki links parsed correctly [[Vladimir~Ilyich~Lenin]]
# - partial url shown as hint for external link (in GIF/PNG)
# - BarData: no attribute 'text:..' supplied -> default to space = show no text on axis
# - PlotData: new attribute 'anchor:..'
# - revert html encoding of '<' & '>' by MediaWiki

# 1.6 May 28 2004 :
# - SVG decode special chars in SVG input fixed
# - BarData: new attributes 'barset:..' and 'barcount:..' # autoincrement bar id
# - PlotData: new attribute 'barset:..'
# - LineData: new attribute 'layer:..', draw lines to back or front of bars and texts

# 1.7
# - EscapeShellArg (Tim Starling)

# 1.8 June .. 2004 :
# - optional autosizing of image (implied when auto incrementing bar count (also new))
# - presentation left-right order of bars reversed on TimeAxis = orientation:vertical
# - TimeAxis option 'order:[normal|reverse]' added
# - BarData: option barcount replaced by auto incrementing bar count and 'break' and 'skip' attributes
# - DrawLines -> LineData (command renamed, but also restructured like PlotData, TextData)
# - new drawing options for LineData, now also lines parallel to time axis, or between arbitrary points
# - Preset command added (specify default settings with 'Preset =', two sets to start with)
# - 'text' attribute parsing bugs (# or : in text gave problems, spaces got lost)
# - PlotArea  new attributes 'top' and 'right' make it possible to define plot area margins only
#   so resizing image does not imply adjusting PlotArea 'width' and 'height'
# - PlotData option 'shift': only changing x or y value is now possible, e.g. shift=(,10)
# - command ScaleMajor: subs for time axis can now be specified verbatim in option 'text'
# - extra validation checks, defaults, etc
# - function PlotScale now provides workaround for Ploticus bug: auto incrementing dates failed

# 1.9 June 2004
# - stub display order fixed on non time axis

# 1.10 July 2004
# - tempory debug code (removed)

# 1.11 August 2004
# - dot in folder name in input path was misunderstood as start of file extension
# - utf-8 chars within 160-255 range are translated to extended ascii
#   however internal font used by Ploticus has strange mapping so some are replaced
#   by undercore or unaccented version of character
#   this is a make do solution until full unicode support with external fonts will be added

<p>As you can see the scalable version renders fonts smoother better than the bitmap version.
