When using the _pg_chart() function, the first parameter is a chart
environment pointer, which defines the structure chartenv. Within this
structure, the first element is a short called charttype. According to
the C 6.00 online help and the documentation in PGCHART.H, there are
five (5) predefined constants that can be used for the charttype:

   _PG_BAR     - Bar chart
   _PG_COLUMN  - Column chart
   _PG_LINE    - Line chart
   _PG_SCATTER - Scatter chart
   _PG_PIE     - Pie chart

However, the actual constant names are defined to be _PG_BARCHART,
_PG_COLUMNCHART, _PG_LINECHART, _PG_SCATTERCHART, and _PG_PIECHART.
