The user's guide should contain a simple "hello world" type
example with a description of each step. The guide already
contain many special detail information, but it doesn't have
any information which may help people who are trying to
create their very first jCharts chart.

In order to have a short "hello world" code, there should be a
central factory class with convenience methods for the most
frequently used charts. This factory class also helps beginners to
quickly create their first charts. Currently there are several
objects which must be created and understand before displaying
the most simpe chart. Understanding of these classes should
only be required when he wants to customize a standard chart.
Ideally the hello world application should only contain three
statements:
1. setup data,
2. create a chart object which uses the data - by calling a
factory method,
3. render the chart - into a file for example
