 * Contributor(s):   Richard Atkinson;
 *
 * Changes:
 * --------
 * 29-May-2002 : Version 1 (DG);
 * 06-Jun-2002 : Added accessor methods for the tool tip generator (DG);
 * 11-Jun-2002 : Made constructors protected (DG);
 * 26-Jun-2002 : Added axis to initialise method (DG);

 *               Janet Banks.  This can be used when there is only one series,
 *               and you want each category item to have a different color (DG);
 * 01-Oct-2002 : Fixed errors reported by Checkstyle (DG);
 * 29-Oct-2002 : Fixed bug where background image for plot was not being
 *               drawn (DG);
 * 05-Nov-2002 : Replaced references to CategoryDataset with TableDataset (DG);
 * 26-Nov 2002 : Replaced the isStacked() method with getRangeType() (DG);
 * 09-Jan-2003 : Renamed grid-line methods (DG);
 * 17-Jan-2003 : Moved plot classes into separate package (DG);
 * 25-Mar-2003 : Implemented Serializable (DG);
 * 12-May-2003 : Modified to take into account the plot orientation (DG);
 * 12-Aug-2003 : Very minor javadoc corrections (DB)
 * 13-Aug-2003 : Implemented Cloneable (DG);
 * 16-Sep-2003 : Changed ChartRenderingInfo --> PlotRenderingInfo (DG);
 * 05-Nov-2003 : Fixed marker rendering bug (833623) (DG);
 * 21-Jan-2004 : Update for renamed method in ValueAxis (DG);
 * 11-Feb-2004 : Modified labelling for markers (DG);
 * 12-Feb-2004 : Updated clone() method (DG);
 * 15-Apr-2004 : Created a new CategoryToolTipGenerator interface (DG);
 * 05-May-2004 : Fixed bug (948310) where interval markers extend outside axis
 *               range (DG);
 * 14-Jun-2004 : Fixed bug in drawRangeMarker() method - now uses 'paint' and
 *               'stroke' rather than 'outlinePaint' and 'outlineStroke' (DG);
 * 15-Jun-2004 : Interval markers can now use GradientPaint (DG);
 * 30-Sep-2004 : Moved drawRotatedString() from RefineryUtilities
 *               --> TextUtilities (DG);
 * 01-Oct-2004 : Fixed bug 1029697, problem with label alignment in
 *               drawRangeMarker() method (DG);
 * 07-Jan-2005 : Renamed getRangeExtent() --> findRangeBounds() (DG);

 * 20-Apr-2005 : Added legend label, tooltip and URL generators (DG);
 * 01-Jun-2005 : Handle one dimension of the marker label adjustment
 *               automatically (DG);
 * 09-Jun-2005 : Added utility method for adding an item entity (DG);
 * ------------- JFREECHART 1.0.x ---------------------------------------------
 * 01-Mar-2006 : Updated getLegendItems() to check seriesVisibleInLegend
 *               flags (DG);
 * 20-Jul-2006 : Set dataset and series indices in LegendItem (DG);
 * 23-Oct-2006 : Draw outlines for interval markers (DG);
 * 24-Oct-2006 : Respect alpha setting in markers, as suggested by Sergei
 *               Ivanov in patch 1567843 (DG);
 * 30-Nov-2006 : Added a check for series visibility in the getLegendItem()
 *               method (DG);
 * 07-Dec-2006 : Fix for equals() method (DG);

 * 01-Mar-2007 : Fixed interval marker drawing (patch 1670686 thanks to 
 *               Sergei Ivanov) (DG);
 * 20-Apr-2007 : Updated getLegendItem() for renderer change, and deprecated
 *               itemLabelGenerator, toolTipGenerator and itemURLGenerator
