 * 18-Sep-2001 : Added standard header and fixed DOS encoding problem (DG);
 * 23-Nov-2001 : Overhauled standard tick unit code (DG);

 *               values (DG);
 * 12-Dec-2001 : Fixed vertical gridlines bug (DG);
 * 16-Jan-2002 : Added an optional crosshair, based on the implementation by
 *               Jonathan Nash (DG);

 *               suggested by Kees Kuip (DG);
 * 25-Jul-2002 : Moved lower and upper margin attributes from the NumberAxis
 *               class (DG);
