Method Summary
`int` `getSeriesCount()` Returns the number of series in the dataset.
`java.lang.Comparable` `getSeriesKey(int series)` Returns the key for a series.
`int` `indexOf(java.lang.Comparable seriesKey)` Returns the index of the series with the specified key, or -1 if there is no such series in the dataset.

Method Detail

### getSeriesCount

    int getSeriesCount()

  Returns the number of series in the dataset.

  Returns:
    The series count.

### getSeriesKey

    java.lang.Comparable getSeriesKey(int series)

  Returns the key for a series.

  Parameters:
    `series` - the series index (in the range `0` to `getSeriesCount() - 1`).
  Returns:
    The key for the series.

### indexOf

    int indexOf(java.lang.Comparable seriesKey)

  Returns the index of the series with the specified key, or -1 if there is no such series in the dataset.

  Parameters:
    `seriesKey` - the series key (`null` permitted).
  Returns:
    The index, or -1.
