 *   - QColor getKeyLabelColor() const=0;
  * .
 *
 * Optionally you may also overwrite these functions to draw elements outside the actual plot area (like e.g. colorbars):
 *   - void getOutsideSize(JKQTPEnhancedPainter& painter, int& leftSpace, int& rightSpace, int& topSpace, int& bottomSpace);
 *   - void drawOutside(JKQTPEnhancedPainter& painter, QRect leftSpace, QRect rightSpace, QRect topSpace, QRect bottomSpace);
 * .
 *
 * In addition this class provudes protected
 * functions that do coordinate transforms based on the current coordinate system, of the paren
 * JKQTPlotter (i.e. using the axes JKQTPLott:xAxis and JKQTPlotter::yAxis as basis for the plotting).

            This function is used to implement hit tests, i.e. to test whether a graph is close to a given position \a posSystem.
            The function will then return the distance of the closes graph-point and a label for this point. An example of what
            can be done with this function is the tooltip tool that JKQTPlotter provides via its context-menu/toolbar. This tool
            uses just the information of the closest point and its label to display a tooltip for that datapoint:

            \see jkqtpmdaToolTipForClosestDataPoint for details.


            \param posSystem position to test in system coordinates
            \param[out] closestSpotSystem optional output of the closest point found on the plot element in system coordinates
            \param[out] label optional output of a label for the closest point (that might e.g. be used in a tooltip)
            \param mode search mode, i.e. use sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy) as distance, or just the absoulte values along one of the
                        two coordinate axes. Note that the returned distance depends on this parameter!
            \return NAN if not implemented, or if \a pos is very far from the plot element, or the closest distance (in screen pixels)
                    of \a pos from the plot element. Note that the returned distance depends on the choosen \a mode !!!
                    You can use JKQTPIsOKFloat() to check whether a valid distance was returned!


            Since tha graph base class does not have any knowledge about how to perform a hit test on you specific graph, there is only a
            very general implementation in this class, which does not actually search through the graph itself, but searches through
            extra data that hs to be written during draw() and is stored in m_hitTestData. The implentation this base-class only searches this
            list of points+metadata to implement a basic hit-test. If the list is empty, of no close-by points are found (default), then
            hitTest() will simply return \a NAN.

            When writing a new graph, you can therefore implement hitTest() in one of these ways:
               # You simply fill m_hitTestData with appropriate data and rely on the implementation in JKQTPPlotElement to do the work for you:
                 You then need to call clearHitTestData() at the start of your draw() function and whenever you draw a datapoint, you add
                 its location and metadata to the internal storage with addHitTestData().
               # You derive from a graph class that already has an implementation. JKQTPXYGraph is an example of this. That class searches
                 through all x-/y-coordinates in the internally known columns and even takes into account possible graph errors in the label,
                 when the graph is also derived from JKQTPXGraphErrorData or JKQTPYGraphErrorData. This implementation therefore covers
                 most graph types pre-packaged with JKQTPlotter.
               # You implement the function from scratch.
