Hmmm, there are *no* deprecated methods in the MASON charting code.   
addSeries is correct, so I'm confused.

The init(...) method will be called once, when the GUI for your  
simulation is being fired up (more specifically, when the Console has  
been created).  It's *definitely* being called -- it's a very  
important method!  Are you perhaps returning from this method before  
you get to the chart code?  Or have you built an init(...) method  
somewhere else?  It's the method in your GUIState subclass.

To double-check, I cut-and-pasted from the HowTo code into sim/app/ 
antsforage/AntsForageWithUI.java to try it out, and it works nicely.   
Here's some code for you to double-check against.
