We're really deleting data.  

There are different culling strategies, and you can implement your own.  But the strategy we're using is in MinGapDataCuller.java.  Let the maximum size be N.  Then:

1. Let the chart grow to N in size.
2. Until the chart is N/2+1 in size, repeat:
	2A. Remove the point whose left and right neighbors are closest to one another.  Break ties by choosing the earlier point.  Never remove the first and last points in the series.
