 *               data point into a separate class StandardXYItemRenderer.
 *               This will make it easier to add variations to the way the
 *               charts are drawn.  Based on code contributed by Mark
 *               Watson (DG);
 * 22-Oct-2001 : Renamed DataSource.java --> Dataset.java etc. (DG);

 *               method.  Moved the tooltip generator into the renderer (DG);

 *               lines (DG);
 * 13-May-2002 : Small change to the draw() method so that it works for
 *               OverlaidXYPlot also (DG);
