Beam View Load Drawing (Changes 42,48)

The following problems with beam mode load drawing have been resolved

When printing the beam load view, the drawing area occupied by the beam and its loads is now adjusted depending on how many load types are present to make sure drawing looks reasonable. Previously the drawing was covering the entire page even if only a single load was being drawn on the beam.

This feature was not implemented for column mode, a column drawing still takes up the entire width of the printed area.

A problem where the presence of negative loads on a known- width member was causing the loads to be drawn too large extending outside of the view area has been fixed. This problem affected only the screen display output, not the printed output.

In previous versions of Sizer, the load type string did not show up in the load diagram for beams if only a point load was present. This change makes the load type string appear if only a point load is present in the same way line loads are done.
