setItemLabelGenerater() is deprecated so you shouldn't use it.

setBaseItemLabelGenerator() is the label generator used if you don't specify any alternative for series/points.

setBaseXXX() sets the default value for an attribute when it doesn't have a "per series" value. I should call these methods setDefaultXXX.

setSeriesXXX() sets the value for an attribute for a particular series. I often refer to this as the "per series" setting.

setXXX() generally overrides both the "per series" and the base or default attribute values...handy to make a temporary override and then restore the previous settings (just by setting the override to null again), but it adds clutter and confusion in an already large API so I've deprecated these methods and they'll be removed later. I should probably have called these methods setOverrideXXX().
