Subject says it all; include actual images instead of ascii art.

Here's the article:
http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L415

I'd suggest making a special section for resizing, as it's a tricky
thing to understand.

And since Fl_Group is responsible for all resizing, it's existing
section describing how the demo works should also link to the new
section.

I would like to tackle this STR as an introduction to Github,
pull requests, and because it "only" involves documentation.

I already have some code for generating layouts and images
similar to the ascii art in Article #415, and which could
possibly become examples in their own right. They will need
to be updated for new headers, footers, copyright, urls, etc.

For the moment, I only intend to create a resize.dox page
between custom.dox and editor.dox, and to draw on the text
from Article #415. After that, the figure numbers in later
chapters will need to be bumped...

Sounds good to me -- obviously I haven't had time to get around to it.

Created pull request 102 containing text and images

Figure numbering in new chapter and following ones to be updated.
Inline Fl_Group documentation should also point to new chapter.

Programs for generating images to be attached in separate request.

Created pull request 104 with the examples/resize code,
tidied up a bit since I generated the images for the dox.

Not sure that the code is the clearest it could be as
examples of resizing, and it's a standalone directory

The new resize documentation describes the case where the
resizing involves stretching the group from its original
size. There's nothing there about shrinking the group below
its initial size, but I do remember seeing a note somewhere
about setting a minimum size for height/width, or was it a
range, but I'm afraid that I don't remember the details.

There should also be a note somewhere, in Fl_Group maybe,
that it is advisable, or good practice, that widgets do
not overlap or extend outsize the group boundary.

Can we close this STR?

If yes (I think so) please don't forget to add the Git commit number.

Thanks.
