 *
 * Changes:
 * --------
 * 06-Dec-2001 : Version 1 (BK);
 * 12-Dec-2001 : Removed unnecessary 'throws' clause from constructor (DG);
 * 18-Dec-2001 : Added plotArea attribute and get/set methods (BK);
 * 22-Dec-2001 : Fixed bug in chartChanged with multiple combinations of
 *               CombinedPlots (BK);
 * 08-Jan-2002 : Moved to new package com.jrefinery.chart.combination (DG);

 *               draw() method (BK);
 * 26-Mar-2002 : Added an empty zoom method (this method needs to be written so
 *               that combined plots will support zooming (DG);
 * 29-Mar-2002 : Changed the method createCombinedAxis adding the creation of
 *               OverlaidSymbolicAxis and CombinedSymbolicAxis(AB);

 *               added overrides of 'setSeriesPaint()' and 'setXYItemRenderer()'
 *               that pass changes down to subplots (KF);
 * 09-Oct-2002 : Added add(XYPlot) method (DG);
 * 26-Mar-2003 : Implemented Serializable (DG);

 *               draw() (DG);
 * 27-Mar-2008 : Add documentation for getDataRange() method (DG);
