public interface ModePlotter<S extends Style>
extends Plotter<S>

Plotter sub-interface that marks a family of plotters as having similar characteristics. These are used by the TOPCAT GUI to group plotters together for display and user interaction. The Mode and Form can in principle be varied separately to form a family of plotters that can share a similar UI if the mode and form implement known subinterfaces of those interfaces.
