computeBoundedPointsForElement method

@protected List<Point<double>>? computeBoundedPointsForElement(PointRendererElement<D> pointElement, Rectangle<num> drawBounds)

Computes end points for the pointElement's lower and upper data bounds.

This will compute two points representing the end points of the symbol, from (xLower, yLower) to (xUpper, yUpper). The end points will be clamped along the line so that it is fully contained within drawBounds.

Returns null if pointElement is missing any of the data bounds, or if the line connecting them is located entirely outside of drawBounds.
