Thanks, its good to get some documentation for the graphics framework
into hyperdoc, ideally I would have liked to put more extensive
documentation for the new graphics framework into hyperdoc but I have
held back for the following reasons:

I would have liked to add a lot more details and examples and, given
the topic is graphics, this really needs to be illustrated by using
lots of bitmaps. I assume that a lot of (quite large) bitmaps would
substantially increase the download size of FiCAS if this were done.

By default hyperdoc pages seem to start quite small, the user can
resize but each time to user jumps to a new page it will be the
default size, I therefore assume that the user wont keep resizing. So
writers of documentation have to assume that it is read through a
small window. This would mean a lot of small pages which would have to
be very deeply nested, this make the documentation hard to write and
hard for users to navigate.

I therefore think I'll wait for the HTML version of hyperdoc before
extending it further.
