I have been using the minigui library and it's working well for 
me. Thank you for creating it. I decided to throw together a bar 
chart, but it has been was more complicated than I gave it credit 
for. I am breaking it up into multiple nested widgets.

The issue I'm having is that I don't understand how to assign 
bounds in the nested widget. I'm sure there's a very clean 
solution. I basically want a paintContent method but with the 
bounds dynamically assigned by the parent. My thought is:
1. Create a setBounds on the child
2. Call setBounds on the child from inside paintContent of the 
parent
3. Instead of using paintContent in the child, use paint and use 
the bounds specified there

but that seems kind of off because I pass the bounds from parent 
to child separate from having the bounds in the child and it is 
not intuitive that the bounds would always be set by the parent 
before the child is painted. If there is a more elegant solution, 
then I will use it. Otherwise, this solution will work fine with 
some comments.
