// Add a title to the chart using 15 points Arial Bold Italic font

// Set the plotarea at (75, 40) and of size 400 x 400 pixels. Use semi-transparent black (80000000)
// dotted lines for both horizontal and vertical grid lines

// Add a contour layer using the given data
layer = c.addContourLayer(dataX, dataY, dataZ);

// Move the grid lines in front of the contour layer
c.getPlotArea().moveGridBefore(layer);

// Add a color axis (the legend) in which the top left corner is anchored at (505, 40). Set the
// length to 400 pixels and the labels on the right side.

// Set color axis labels to use Arial Bold font

// Output the chart
