java.lang.Comparable	getRowKey() Returns the row key.
int	getSeries() Deprecated. As of 1.0.6, you can derive this information from the getRowKey() method.
void	setCategory(java.lang.Object category) Deprecated. As of version 1.0.6, use setColumnKey(Comparable).
void	setCategoryIndex(int index) Deprecated. As of 1.0.6, use setColumnKey(Comparable) to designate the category.
