    Returns:
      A formatted string for the given value

  - ### measureTickMarkSize

    protected Dimension2D measureTickMarkSize(String value, Object range)

      size of tick mark label for given value

  - ### invalidateRange

    public void invalidateRange(List<String> data)
    Called when data has changed and the range may not be valid any more. This is only called by the chart if isAutoRanging() returns true. If we are auto ranging it will cause layout to be requested and auto ranging to happen on next layout pass.
