135     * "per series" settings for the attribute (many attributes are defined on a
136     * per series basis, so this is the layer that is most commonly used).  If the 
137     * layer 1 setting is <code>null</code>, the renderer will look up the final 
138     * layer, which provides a default or "base" setting.  Some attributes allow 
139     * the base setting to be <code>null</code>, while other attributes enforce 
140     * non-<code>null</code> values.
