Graph Lines get rendered 1px too far left

If you look closely at any rendered graph, the lines start on the left
border not inside it.

Well spotted! It's because of an ugly hack I never removed completely fully. I've
done that now. The fix will be in the next release which I'm uploading now.

Hi,

Your fix has not completely solved the problem, though obviously it has helped.

As you can see, it's still leaking past the border. Perhaps you can render the border
over top of the lines instead of vice versa.

As you can see though, your graph looks nice in my application. :)

The remainding overlap is on purpose, it's a stylistic artifact. :-)

And your stylistic artifact takes away from the design of my interface.

Provide an option or fix it, or I will have to, no offense but that kind of a
response isn't acceptable for publicly released works. :(

If you can figure out how to avoid the overlap with everything still looking fine,
feel free to submit a patch.

I don't think drawing the grid outline on top of the graphs is a good solution,
because it means that we'd have to shuffle the code around to still have points on
top of the outline. So I suggest you take a look at the drawSeriesLines and the
embedded plotLine functions.

I just changed the border to be like a CSS border. So the overlap is gone now.

I'll check it out! Thanks for fixing this even though it's a 1+ year old bug!
