 * Changes
 * -------
 * 01-Apr-2002 : Version 1, contributed by Hari (DG);
 * 23-Apr-2002 : Moved dataset from JFreeChart to Plot (DG);
 * 22-Aug-2002 : Added changes suggest by Bob Orchard, changed Color to Paint
 *               for consistency, plus added Javadoc comments (DG);
 * 01-Oct-2002 : Fixed errors reported by Checkstyle (DG);
 * 23-Jan-2003 : Removed one constructor (DG);
 * 26-Mar-2003 : Implemented Serializable (DG);
 * 20-Aug-2003 : Changed dataset from MeterDataset --> ValueDataset, added
 *               equals() method,
 * 08-Sep-2003 : Added internationalization via use of properties
 *               resourceBundle (RFE 690236) (AL);
 *               implemented Cloneable, and various other changes (DG);
 * 08-Sep-2003 : Added serialization methods (NB);
 * 11-Sep-2003 : Added cloning support (NB);
 * 16-Sep-2003 : Changed ChartRenderingInfo --> PlotRenderingInfo (DG);

 * 22-Mar-2005 : Removed 'normal', 'warning' and 'critical' regions and put in
 *               facility to define an arbitrary number of MeterIntervals,
 *               based on a contribution by David Bastend (DG);
 * 20-Apr-2005 : Small update for change to LegendItem constructors (DG);
 * 05-May-2005 : Updated draw() method parameters (DG);
