/**

 * a {@link SymbolFactory} for creating the symbol. The error bars
 * are {@link Rectangle Rectangles}. 
 * <p>
 * Curves with error bars are based on <em>two</em> 
 * {@link jcckit.data.DataCurve DataCurves}:
 * <ol><li>The plain curve.
 *     <li>An instance which stores the errors in <i>x</i> and <i>y</i>.
 *         It is assumed that the errors are positive values defining
 *         the error symmetrically around the curve points.
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * The <tt>ErrorBarFactory</tt> needs an instance of {@link PositionHint}
 * as initial {@link Hint} for the next curve. Its origin must be
 * the origin of the data coordinate system in device-independent coordinates.
 * The position of <tt>PositionHint</tt> must be undefined.
