//! Specialization of a CChartSerie to display a bars series.
/**
	This class is a specialized series class used to display vertical (default) 
	or horizontal bars. Each bar in the series is centered around its X value 
	(for vertical bars) or Y value (for horizontal bars). Bars can be grouped 
	together, so that they do not overlap but are stacked next to each other 
	(or on top of each other). This is done by specifying a group Id: bar series 
	with the same group Id will be grouped together (stacked). Series with different 
	group Id will be independant (they will be drawn as if they were the only one, 
	meaning that the different series will probably overlap).

I am a 29 years old guy and I live with my girlfriend in Hoegaarden, little city from Belgium well known for its white beer Smile | :) .
I studied as an industrial engineer in electronics but I oriented myself more towards software development when I started to work.
Currently I am working in a research centre in mechatronica. I mainly develop in C++ but I also do a bit of Java.
When I have so spare time, I like to read (mainly fantasy) and play electric guitar.
