// LoadGraphic loads a graphic from disk or panics trying. The image can be in

// The user must supply the filename of the graphic file to load, in the
// parameter filename.
//
// If the function succeeds then a variable of type Graphic will be returned
// back to the calling function. It is the programmers responsibility to
// store this in a variable of type Graphic.
//
// If the function fails it will panic and crash the program.
// The reasons for a panic are:
//
// 1. The toolbox has not been initalised
//
// 2. The filename does not exist, or is otherwise inaccessable. The specific
// reason will be contained in the panic message itself. This message will
// be prefixed with "Failed to load file: ".
//
// 3. The file could not be converted into a Graphic type. Again the specific
// reason will be contained in the panic message itself. This message will be
// prefixed with "Failed to create Graphic: "
