4.8.1 Alignment
luafox supports four different ways of displaying graphs. "Bottom" means that all bars
start from Value 0. This has the advantage the the top edge of a bar (or the bottom
one in case of negative numbers) corresponds directly to the value on the Y-axis.
However, if you have more than two data sets, then bars on the top may cover bars
further in the background.
Using the "bottom" alignment may cover bars further in the background (left) unless
the bars are made semi transparent in an external package like ArtWorks (right)
