Remarks

The Primitive class is the base class of all other graphical chart elements. They make up the axes, labels, on-chart text, bars, columns and other entities that are presented to the user.

Each graphical chart is comprised of Layer objects that compose one or more Primitives (and any of its many subclasses) onto the scene graph, which is then rendered into the chart.

Developers have considerable flexibility in accessing and manipulating Primitives, particularly in custom Layer implementations, to add powerful new visual functionality to their chart applications.
