Description of available methods:
---------------------------------

  bar( taglist )

    This method initialises the plugin.

    <taglist> is a pointer to a normal taglist.

    The following tags are available:

    - BAR_Text             : string to display   (default is NIL)

    - BAR_Font             : fontname if you want to use another
                             font than topas.font

    - BAR_FontHeight       : height of the selected font (default is 8)

    - BAR_TextPos          : BARTXT_Left       ; left aligned
                             BARTXT_Center     ; centred  (default)
                             BARTXT_Right      ; right aligned

    - BAR_BarPos           : BARPOS_Above      ; full line over the text
                             BARPOS_Below      ; full line under the text
                             BARPOS_Bottom     ; line at the bottom of the text
                                                 (default)
                             BARPOS_Center     ; line at center of fontheight
                             BARPOS_Top        ; line at the top of the text
                             BARPOS_BaseLine   ; line at the baseline position

    - BAR_TextTypen        : BARTXT_Normal     ; normal text style (default)
                           : BARTXT_Shadow     ; shadowed text style

    - BAR_Direction        : BARDIR_Horizontal ; horizontal bar (default)
                             BARDIR_Vertical   ; vertical bar (no text yet)

Future Plans:

- some color options
- some text options for vertical bars
- use system defaut font as default and not topaz/8
- fallback to topaz/8 when the requested font is not available
