Constructor Detail

### ScatterRenderer

    public ScatterRenderer()

  Constructs a new renderer.

Method Detail

### getUseSeriesOffset

    public boolean getUseSeriesOffset()

  Returns the flag that controls whether or not the x-position for each data item is offset within the category according to the series.

  Returns:
    A boolean.
  See Also:
    `setUseSeriesOffset(boolean)`

### setUseSeriesOffset

    public void setUseSeriesOffset(boolean offset)

  Sets the flag that controls whether or not the x-position for each data item is offset within its category according to the series, and sends a `RendererChangeEvent` to all registered listeners.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - the offset.
  See Also:
    `getUseSeriesOffset()`

### getItemMargin

    public double getItemMargin()

  Returns the item margin, which is the gap between items within a category (expressed as a percentage of the overall category width). This can be used to match the offset alignment with the bars drawn by a `BarRenderer`).

  Returns:
    The item margin.
  See Also:
    `setItemMargin(double)`, `getUseSeriesOffset()`

### setItemMargin

    public void setItemMargin(double margin)

  Sets the item margin, which is the gap between items within a category (expressed as a percentage of the overall category width), and sends a `RendererChangeEvent` to all registered listeners.

  Parameters:
    `margin` - the margin (0.0 <= margin < 1.0).
  See Also:
    `getItemMargin()`, `getUseSeriesOffset()`

### getDrawOutlines

    public boolean getDrawOutlines()

  Returns `true` if outlines should be drawn for shapes, and `false` otherwise.

  Returns:
    A boolean.
  See Also:
    `setDrawOutlines(boolean)`

### setDrawOutlines

    public void setDrawOutlines(boolean flag)

  Sets the flag that controls whether outlines are drawn for shapes, and sends a `RendererChangeEvent` to all registered listeners.

  In some cases, shapes look better if they do NOT have an outline, but this flag allows you to set your own preference.

  Parameters:
    `flag` - the flag.
  See Also:
    `getDrawOutlines()`

### getUseOutlinePaint

    public boolean getUseOutlinePaint()

  Returns the flag that controls whether the outline paint is used for shape outlines. If not, the regular series paint is used.

  Returns:
    A boolean.
  See Also:
    `setUseOutlinePaint(boolean)`

### setUseOutlinePaint

    public void setUseOutlinePaint(boolean use)

  Sets the flag that controls whether the outline paint is used for shape outlines, and sends a `RendererChangeEvent` to all registered listeners.

  Parameters:
    `series` - the series index (zero-based).
    `filled` - the flag.

### setSeriesShapesFilled

    public void setSeriesShapesFilled(int series,
                                      boolean filled)

### getUseFillPaint

    public boolean getUseFillPaint()

  Returns `true` if the renderer should use the fill paint setting to fill shapes, and `false` if it should just use the regular paint.

  Returns:
    A boolean.

### setUseFillPaint

    public void setUseFillPaint(boolean flag)

  Parameters:
    `flag` - the flag.

### findRangeBounds
