i'd like to add an idea for your consideration. at some point it would be a
good idea to support a "canvas" class (or interface in PHP 5) which would
produce output by implementing basic graphics primitives (drawLine,
drawRectangle, fillArea, etc). this class/interface would then render based
on its output format. by swapping canvases, we get a different target
output (gd, flash, pdf). Vagrant (http://vagrant.sourceforge.net/) had this
idea, but implemented it by subclassing the graph class itself.
