/**
 * SeriesRender is a high-performance replacement for the SymbolLineRenderer.
 * The SymbolLineRenderer is limited to about 30,000 points, beyond which 
 * contracts for speed start breaking, degrading usability.  The goal of the
 * SeriesRenderer is to plot 1,000,000 points without breaking the contracts.
 * 
 * It should be said that five years after its introduction that it's still quite limited.
 * 
 * The SeriesRenderer has a few additional features, such as error bars and 
 * fill-to-reference.  These are implemented as "render elements" so that work 
 * is encapsulated.
