Simple PNG generation example that only depends on zlib in Ruby
# Not Great PNG class. This is a very simple example of writing a PNG. It
# only supports colors from the color palette stored in `@palette`. This is
# meant to be example code, but I am using it in a program for visualizing
# heap dumps from Ruby.

Some Java basics for Rubyists
  1. Java uses static, declared typing:

    String hello = "Hello, World!";
    List<String> phrases = new ArrayList<String>;
    phrases.add(hello);
    phrases.add(null);
    phrases.add(123); // Compile error! Not a string.
