Class CategoryPointerAnnotation

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Annotation, CategoryAnnotation, PublicCloneable

An arrow and label that can be placed on a CategoryPlot. The arrow is drawn at a user-definable angle so that it points towards the (category, value) location for the annotation.

The arrow length (and its offset from the (category, value) location) is controlled by the tip radius and the base radius attributes. Imagine two circles around the (category, value) coordinate: the inner circle defined by the tip radius, and the outer circle defined by the base radius. Now, draw the arrow starting at some point on the outer circle (the point is determined by the angle), with the arrow tip being drawn at a corresponding point on the inner circle.
