Cairo required to display plots in VS Code #166

I just installed Graphs and GraphPlot on a Windows machine and tried running gplot on a graph. It failed and I had to install Cairo.jl for the graph to display on the VS Code plot pane.

Should Cairo.jl be a dependency in the compat for this project? Or is this an issue with VS Code?

Error message before installing Cairo.jl:
ERROR: The Cairo and Fontconfig packages are necessary for saving as image/png.
Add them with the package manager if necessary, then run import Cairo,Fontconfig before invoking show(::IO, ::MIME"image/png", ::Context).

* Improve Readme and docstring
-distinguish args, kwargs
-add missing kwargs

* fix #166

clarify that Cairo is required to visualize in vscode

* Fix #175 to enable plotting to html

Checking for System OS was outdated

* Document the use of gplothtml in README

* Update open_file

Now matches gadfly.jl (https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/blob/master/src/open_file.jl)

* Minor changes:
-allow gplothtml to accept same arguments as gplot
-allow x/y-locs to be of different type (<: Real)

* add TagBot to repo

* Fix #172. set background color (`backgroundc` kwarg):
and minor changes to plots.jl
update README

* add compose child object for background (instead of main level)

* rename to `background_color` + add test

* fixed #149

* support changing plot size (fixes #94, #147)

uses Colorant.set_default_graphic_size

* update default `plot_size` to Compose.jl default

* Fix #107
-Allow add title
-Set title color and size
-Set font family for entire plot
-Remove unneded Compose objects (the ones with `nothing` as the arg)

* scale title margin with title font size

* Fix #160 make self-loop edges curved
behavior is regardless of the linetype

* add padding option for margins
-relevant for plots with curved self-loops and long node labels

* Fix #154

Multiple dispatch was messing up because types were not specified for spring layout and `kws` not preceeded by `;`

* update error msg

* update background rectangle to cover padded area

* add conversion to floats for input locations to avoid error when Ints are passed

* use float instead of Float64

* add tests for layouts

* update compat; remove ColorTypes

* avoid unnecessary allocation if locs are already Floats

* avoid allocation in gplot if locs are floats.
fix typo

* update ci.yml to julia 1.6

* bug fix

* add `pad` kwarg to override indvidual paddings

* make lines more robust when self-loops involved

* remove deps to LinAlg and SparseArrays now that not needed for mixed edge styles.

* remove using statements

* Revert "remove deps to LinAlg and SparseArrays now that not needed for mixed edge styles."

This reverts commit c391c55.

* fix bug

when node size uses Width units and padding is used, the arrow ends get thrown off (instead, replace Compose.w with 2.4 (unit box width) to make sure that the right size is used regardless of the padding)

* Change arrows to triangles. Fixes point 2 in #150

* update ref. images in tests for new arrow types

* fixed bug in tests

* -update locs type in gplot and spring_layout
-update default plot_size to square plot

* fix visualization of double sided arcs

* fix bug when edge iterator passed to `graphline`

* fix bug on edgelabels

* closes #95 (add `saveplot`)
also uses Reexport to export Measures

* no need to use Reexport or Measures

* make edge label in center (even for direted)

* .

* add interpolation functions for edge labels

* fix #190

* add note on bezier curve interpolation
