Graph Architecture:
===================

Axis -
  all series

  notion of stacks

Series -
  per 'data'
  notion of range (x, y, min, max)

Utilities:
==========

Color
  build colors
  parse textual color data
  convert colors
  clone colors

Text
  calculate text size

Spacing Calculation
===================

Flotr
  calculate data
  calculate margins

Chart
  calculate Data Ranges - Explicit or auto data minimum, maximums
  calculate Data Range Extensions - By chart type, extend data range with needs of chart type (ie. stacked bars, stacked lines)
  add Chart Padding - By chart type

Text
  use explicit margins
  calculate label margins
  calculate title margins
