Description of sample code

This programs illustrates various features of Cell functions of FPDF4ZOS.  It opens a PDF context, and creates a six columns table formed of cells.
- Header row features Center aligned Cells with fill and border display.
- Three next data rows are built using four sides borders with various text alignments and border patterns.
- Finally, it builds another set of rows with various text alignments and zebra patterns.  

The following functions are used in this piece:
- NewPdfy()      -->  Initialisation of a pdf context
- AddPage()      -->  As it says
- SetLineWidth() -->  Instruct that PDF is to be protected at user and owner levels
- SetDrawColor() -->  Set the color of lines to be drawn
- SetFillColor() -->  Set the color of area to be filled
- SetFont()      -->  Set current font
- SetMargins()   -->  Specify page margins (left, top, right)
- SetX()         -->  Set X current position
- SetY()         -->  Set Y current position
- GetX()         -->  Get X current position
- GetY()         -->  Get Y current position
- Cell()         -->  Print a Text Cell 
- FlushPdf()     -->  Output PDF file taking into account all the instructions invoked since context initialization
