 * Changes
 * -------
 * 18-Sep-2001 : Added standard header and fixed DOS encoding problem (DG);
 * 22-Sep-2001 : Changed setMinimumAxisValue() and setMaximumAxisValue() so
 *               that they clear the autoRange flag (DG);

 *               setAutoRangeIncludesZero flag is changed (DG);
 * 25-Feb-2002 : Added a new flag autoRangeStickyZero to provide further
 *               control over margins in the auto-range mechanism.  Updated
 *               constructors.  Updated import statements.  Moved the
