'*
' *  ChangeLog / Version History:
' *  ----------------------------
' *
' *   4.0 [ 21 June 2016 ]
' *       - Support export if direct image base64 encoded data is provided (for FusionCharts v 3.11.0 or more).
' *       - Support for download of xls format.
' *       - Export with images suppported for every format including svg if browser is capable of sending the image data as base64 data.
' *
' *   3.0 [ 18 July 2014 ]
' *       - Support for JavaScript Chart (SVG)
' *       
' *   2.0 [ 12 February 2009 ] 
' *       - Integrated with new Export feature of FusionCharts 3.1
' *       - can save to server side directory
' *       - can provide download or open in popup window.
' *       - can report back to chart
' *       - can save as PDF/JPG/PNG/GIF
' *
' *   1.0 [ 16 August 2007 ]
' *       - can process chart data to jpg image and response back to client side as download.

'*
' *  GENERAL NOTES
' *  -------------
' *
' *  Chart would POST export data (which consists of encoded image data stream,  
' *  width, height, background color and various other export parameters like 
' *  exportFormat, exportFileName, exportAction, exportTargetWindow) to this script. 
' *  
' *  The script would process this data using appropriate resource classes & build 
' *  export binary (PDF/image) 
' *
' *  It either saves the binary as file to a server side directory or push it as
' *  Download to client side.
' *
' *
' *  ISSUES
' *  ------
' *   Q. What if someone wishes to open in the same page where the chart existed as postback
' *      replacing the old page?
' * 
' *   A. Not directly supported using any chart attribute or parameter but can do by
' *      removing/commenting the line containing 'header( content-disposition ...'
' *

''' <summary>
''' This is an ad-hoc class to compress PDF stream.
''' Currently this class compresses binary (byte) stream using RLE which 
''' PDF 1.3 specification has thus formulated:
''' 
''' The RunLengthDecode filter decodes data that has been encoded in a simple 
''' byte-oriented format based on run length. The encoded data is a sequence of 
''' runs, where each run consists of a length byte followed by 1 to 128 bytes of data. If 
''' the length byte is in the range 0 to 127, the following length + 1 (1 to 128) bytes 
''' are copied literally during decompression. If length is in the range 129 to 255, the 
''' following single byte is to be copied 257 - length (2 to 128) times during decompression. 
''' A length value of 128 denotes EOD.
''' 
''' The chart image compression ratio comes to around 10:3
