Notifies all registered observers with the current state.
Notifies observers that an out-of-bounds condition occurred.
Utility function to compare point values for rotor functionality
boolean value
Returns true if this trace supports compare (lower/higher value) navigation. Override to false for trace types that don't use compare modes (e.g., scatter, which is all we currently have).
Returns the display name for the default data navigation mode. Override to provide a trace-specific name (e.g., "ROW AND COLUMN NAVIGATION" for scatter).
Get all highlight SVG elements for this trace Used by HighlightService for high contrast mode
Array of all SVG elements, or empty array if none
Get all original (visible) SVG elements for this trace. These are the actual rendered elements, not the hidden clones used for highlighting. Used by HighlightService for high contrast mode color changes.

ProtectedgetComputes the trace state at an arbitrary position without moving the user's cursor or notifying observers. Used by monitor mode to sonify and announce a newly appended point while the user stays put.
The state getters read this.row/this.col internally, so the cursor
is moved temporarily and always restored in a finally block — this
method is the single owner of that pattern.
Re-entrancy hazard: this is only safe because the entire call chain is synchronous (no await points), so timers (e.g. autoplay ticks) cannot interleave before the finally-restore, and state getters never notify observers. If a getter ever becomes async or triggers notifications, callers could observe the temporary cursor.

ProtectedgetReturns a human-readable label for this trace's chart type (e.g., 'Bar Chart', 'Scatter Plot') for display in the description modal. Falls back to the raw layer type if no mapping is registered.
ProtectedgetBuilds the axes object for the description state, including z only when the layer explicitly provides a z-axis label. Subclasses should call this instead of constructing the axes object inline so charts without a real z dimension don't surface the placeholder default.
Get available extrema targets for the current navigation context

ProtectedfinalizeCommon post-navigation cleanup that should be called by subclasses after they update their internal state
Returns true if this trace supports intersection navigation mode. Opt-in per trace type: override to return true (possibly conditionally, e.g. based on data shape) for trace types that expose point intersections between series. Intersection navigation is a trace-level capability — it has no meaning at the figure or subplot level, which is why it lives on AbstractTrace rather than AbstractPlot.
Move to the next point intersection (right arrow in intersection rotor mode). Default is a no-op returning false; subclasses that advertise supportsIntersectionMode must override to provide real behavior.
Move to the previous point intersection (left arrow in intersection rotor mode). Default is a no-op returning false; subclasses that advertise supportsIntersectionMode must override to provide real behavior.

ProtectedmapMoves to the nearest point at the specified coordinates (disabled for boxplots).
Concrete implementation of a box plot trace supporting vertical and horizontal orientations. Handles boxplot sections (min, Q1, Q2, Q3, max, outliers) and rotor-based navigation.
This is a pure box plot — violin-specific behavior lives in ViolinBoxTrace.
