Scattered Data Contour Chart

This example demonstrates using scattered data to create a ContourLayer.

In the previous Contour Chart example, the data points lie on a grid. ChartDirector also supports using scattered data points, which means the data points can be at irregular positions. To distinguish between the two case, if the number of z coordinates is equal to the product of the number of x and y coordinates, ChartDirector will assume the x and y coordinates define the grid and the z coordinates are values of the points on the grid. If the number of x, y and z coordinates are equal, ChartDirector will assume they represent scatter points.

In this example, in additional to a ContourLayer added using XYChart.addContourLayer, there is also a ScatterLayer added using XYChart.addScatterLayer to show the positions of the data points.
