All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Styleable`, `EventTarget`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `AreaChart`, `BarChart`, `BubbleChart`, `LineChart`, `ScatterChart`, `StackedAreaChart`, `StackedBarChart`

public abstract class XYChart<X,Y> extends Chart
Chart base class for all 2 axis charts. It is responsible for drawing the two axes and the plot content. It contains a list of all content in the plot and implementations of XYChart can add nodes to this list that need to be rendered.

It is possible to install Tooltips on data items / symbols. For example the following code snippet installs Tooltip on the 1st data item.

      XYChart.Data item = ( XYChart.Data)series.getData().get(0);
      Tooltip.install(item.getNode(), new Tooltip("Symbol-0"));

Since:
  JavaFX 2.0

  - ### dataItemChanged

    protected abstract void dataItemChanged(XYChart.Data<X,Y> item)
    Called when a data item has changed, ie its xValue, yValue or extraValue has changed.
    Parameters:
      `item` - The data item who was changed

  - ### seriesAdded

    protected abstract void seriesAdded(XYChart.Series<X,Y> series, int seriesIndex)
    A series has been added to the charts data model. This is where implementations of XYChart can create/add new nodes to getPlotChildren to represent this series. Also you have to handle adding any data items that are already in the series. You may simply call dataItemAdded() for each one or provide some different animation for a whole series being added.
    Parameters:
      `series` - The series that has been added
      `seriesIndex` - The index of the new series

  - ### seriesRemoved

    protected abstract void seriesRemoved(XYChart.Series<X,Y> series)
    A series has been removed from the data model but it is still visible on the chart. Its still visible so that you can handle animation for removing it in this method. After you are done animating the data item you must call removeSeriesFromDisplay() to remove the series from the display list.
    Parameters:
      `series` - The series that has been removed

  - ### seriesChanged

    protected void seriesChanged(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends XYChart.Series> c)
    Called when each atomic change is made to the list of series for this chart
    Parameters:
      `c` - a Change instance representing the changes to the series

  - ### updateAxisRange

    protected void updateAxisRange()
    This is called when the range has been invalidated and we need to update it. If the axis are auto ranging then we compile a list of all data that the given axis has to plot and call invalidateRange() on the axis passing it that data.

  - ### layoutPlotChildren

    protected abstract void layoutPlotChildren()
    Called to update and layout the plot children. This should include all work to updates nodes representing the plot on top of the axis and grid lines etc. The origin is the top left of the plot area, the plot area with can be got by getting the width of the x axis and its height from the height of the y axis.

  - ### layoutChartChildren

    protected final void layoutChartChildren(double top, double left, double width, double height)
    Called to update and layout the chart children available from getChartChildren()
    Specified by:
      `layoutChartChildren` in class `Chart`
    Parameters:
      `top` - The top offset from the origin to account for any padding on the chart content
      `left` - The left offset from the origin to account for any padding on the chart content
      `width` - The width of the area to layout the chart within
      `height` - The height of the area to layout the chart within

  - ### removeSeriesFromDisplay

    protected final void removeSeriesFromDisplay(XYChart.Series<X,Y> series)
    This should be called from seriesRemoved() when you are finished with any animation for deleting the series from the chart. It will remove the series from showing up in the Iterator returned by getDisplayedSeriesIterator().
    Parameters:
      `series` - The series to remove

  - ### getDisplayedSeriesIterator

    protected final Iterator<XYChart.Series<X,Y>> getDisplayedSeriesIterator()
    XYChart maintains a list of all series currently displayed this includes all current series + any series that have recently been deleted that are in the process of being faded(animated) out. This creates and returns a iterator over that list. This is what implementations of XYChart should use when plotting data.
    Returns:
      iterator over currently displayed series

  - ### getCurrentDisplayedXValue

    protected final X getCurrentDisplayedXValue(XYChart.Data<X,Y> item)
    The current displayed data value plotted on the X axis. This may be the same as xValue or different. It is used by XYChart to animate the xValue from the old value to the new value. This is what you should plot in any custom XYChart implementations. Some XYChart chart implementations such as LineChart also use this to animate when data is added or removed.
    Parameters:
      `item` - The XYChart.Data item from which the current X axis data value is obtained
    Returns:
      The current displayed X data value
