- Method Detail
  - getPlotBounds
```
public java.awt.Rectangle getPlotBounds()
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Returns the rectangle within which all of the plot data will appear. This includes anything that might get drawn by a plot layer, but does not necessarily include axis labels etc.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPlotBounds in interface Surface
    
    Returns:
    
    plot data area bounds
  - getPlotInsets
```
public java.awt.Insets getPlotInsets(boolean withScroll)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Returns the insets that this surface would like to reserve outside the plot bounds. This is space outside the rectangle returned by Surface.getPlotBounds() to be used for axis labels etc.
    If the withScroll parameter is set, then an attempt will be made to return insets that will not alter if the current plot is scrolled around a moderate amount. For a one-time plot that's not important, but for an interactive plot it prevents the actual plot position jumping around to accommodate more or less space on the axes according to exactly where ticks happen to fall on the axes.
    This method is supposed to return only the space that may actually be touched by the plot. The calling code may wish to apply additional padding on top of this for cosmetic reasons.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPlotInsets in interface Surface
    
    Parameters:
    
    withScroll - true to reserve space for nicer scrolling
    
    Returns:
    
    plot data area insets
  - getDataDimCount
```
public int getDataDimCount()
```
    Returns 2.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDataDimCount in interface Surface
    
    Returns:
    
    number of elements in data space coordinate array
  - dataToGraphics
```
public boolean dataToGraphics(double[] dpos,
                              boolean visibleOnly,
                              java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double gp)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Converts a data space position to a graphics position. If visibleOnly is true, then if the return value is true, the exit value of gPos is guaranteed to be within the plot bounds of this surface.
    If visibleOnly is false, there are no guarantees about the exit value of gPos, and its coordinates could be infinite or NaN. In this case you might want to perform additional checking, for instance with the utility methods PlotUtil.isPointFinite or isPointReal.
    
    Specified by:
    
    dataToGraphics in interface Surface
    
    Parameters:
    
    dpos - dataDimCount-element array containing data space coordinates
    
    visibleOnly - if true, then the conversion will only succeed when the result falls within the plot bounds of this surface
    
    gp - point object into which the graphics position will be written on success
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff the conversion succeeds
  - dataToGraphicsOffset
```
public boolean dataToGraphicsOffset(double[] dpos0,
                                    java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double gpos0,
                                    double[] dpos1,
                                    boolean visibleOnly,
                                    java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double gpos1)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Converts an offset data space position to a graphics position. Context is given in the form of an existing converted nearby point (both data and graphics positions).
    This (somewhat hacky) method is required for surfaces in which a data position may map to more than one position in graphics space, for instance sky surfaces with discontinuous longitude. The result does not need to be the same as the result of calling Surface.dataToGraphics(double[], boolean, java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double), and is not required to be a legal graphics position, but it must make visual sense, for instance when plotting error bars. The semantics of a "nearby point" is not very well defined. There are probably situations in which calling this will not give the result that's wanted, but they will probably be rare.
    
    Specified by:
    
    dataToGraphicsOffset in interface Surface
    
    Parameters:
    
    dpos0 - context position in data space
    
    gpos0 - context position in graphics space (result of calling dataToGraphics on dpos0)
    
    dpos1 - query position in data space
    
    visibleOnly - if true, the call only succeeds if the result is within the plot bounds of this surface
    
    gpos1 - point object to which the graphics position of dpos1 will be written on success
    
    Returns:
    
    true for success, false for no result
  - graphicsToData
```
public double[] graphicsToData(java.awt.geom.Point2D gp,
                               java.lang.Iterable<double[]> dposIt)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Attempst to turn a graphics position into a data position. This is not always trivial, for instance in a 3D plot one graphics position maps to a line of data positions. The dposIt argument can optionally be supplied to cope with such instances. If a data pos cannot be determined, null is returned. If dposIt is absent, the method will run quickly. If it's present, it may or may not run slowly.
    
    Specified by:
    
    graphicsToData in interface Surface
    
    Parameters:
    
    gp - graphics point
    
    dposIt - iterable over dataDimCount-element arrays representing all the data space positions plotted, or null
    
    Returns:
    
    dataDimCount-element array giving data space position for gPos, or null if it cannot be determined
  - formatPosition
```
public java.lang.String formatPosition(double[] dpos)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Formats the given data space position as a coordinate string. If possible the returned string should have the same length and formatting over the whole visible plot surface, so that the representation doesn't jump around when the cursor is moved.
    
    Specified by:
    
    formatPosition in interface Surface
    
    Parameters:
    
    dpos - dataDimCount-element array giving data space position
    
    Returns:
    
    human-readable string representing position
  - paintBackground
```
public void paintBackground(java.awt.Graphics g)
```
    Description copied from interface: Surface
    
    Paints the plot surface background. Anything that appears within the plot bounds underneath the data markings must go here.
