      PROCEDURE Scale( data_min, data_max :REAL; approx_inc :CARDINAL;
                       VAR scale_min, scale_max, scale_inc :REAL );
(*
*     From the known data minimum and maximum, and an approximate
*     number of increments wanted, use this algorithm to find the
*     scaling numbers for a graph that will be nicely scaled number
*     around the data range.
*
*     Taken from an algorithm given in:
*            Computer Language magazine
*            September 1989, Vol. 6, No. 9
*            "Composing Well Tempered Linear Scales"
*            by Tom Steppe
