* Specify the data encoding to supply to the Google Chart API. The only
* advantage to the simple encoding scheme is it will ultimately result in
* shorter URLs, but at the cost of lower resolution. charts4j defaults to
* extended encoding, but if you have lots of data and if you are willing to
* sacrifice resolution, the simple encoding may be right for you. Text encoding
* was included for the sake of completeness. Text encoding has limited
* usefulness other than perhaps debugging. It should probably be avoided unless
* you want to see the actual data in the URL at the cost of a much longer URL.
